Alle karakterer får mere end blot en dimension, mens deres skæbner langsomt væves sammen, og man mister aldrig tråden i det ellers ganske komplekse plot.

...‘Suburra’ [er] en tematisk mosaik af et samfund. Den skaber et nuanceret portræt af den overordnede fortælling om visse tvivlsomme personers interesser i at omdanne havnefronten i Rom til et moderne Las Vegas.

Gennem sammenfiltrerede skæbnetråde, hvor enhver handling har omsiggribende, uforudsete konsekvenser, skildrer Sollima det senmoderne, kapitalistiske Italien – fra mafiaens nådesløse rænkespil til det korrumperede politiske system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Suburra about? Toggle content

Suburra is a gripping Italian crime drama that explores the dark underbelly of Rome's criminal underworld. The movie follows a local gangster, Samurai, who has a vision to transform the coast of Ostia into a Las Vegas-like city, with the support of the local mafia families and the Vatican Bank. However, the project is threatened by a brutal turf war between rival gangs, and Samurai must navigate the treacherous landscape to protect his interests. Meanwhile, Filippo Malgradi, an Italian MP, is involved in a bill to change the classification of certain administrative areas, which would allow the real estate project to move forward. He has close ties to Samurai and the Vatican Bank, but his plans are complicated when a prostitute dies in his hotel room, and he is blackmailed by a local crime boss. As tensions escalate, Aureliano "Numero 8" Adami, a local thug who controls the target of the real estate project, becomes embroiled in the conflict. He is in love with a drug-addict named Viola and has agreed to divide the profits with Samurai, but he must convince local small business owners to sell their properties at a bargain. Sabrina, another prostitute who was involved in the hotel room incident, seeks help from Sebastiano's father, a pimp who organizes secret parties for important members of the Italian high society. However, Manfredi Anacleti, the patriarch of another crime family, wants his share in the business and blackmails Sebastiano into handing over Sabrina. Suburra is a tense and suspenseful journey that delves into the corrupt world of organized crime and corruption in Rome. With its intricate plot and compelling characters, this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
