Pietro is a revered teacher, Teresa his brilliant and precocious student. Their affair is both illicit and tempestuous. After one fight, Teresa suggests that each tell the other a secret, one so shameful or shocking that were it to be made public, it would destroy that person’s life. Time passes, Pietro’s stature as a writer grows and his family settles into the comfort of a bourgeois life. But he is haunted by the possibility that Teresa may one day reappear and tear apart his world with the secret she knows.

Quote:
The Suburra quarter in ancient Rome was the quarter populated by taverns and brothels, where noble senators met with criminals in secret to do business and make money. Two thousand years later, not much seems to have changed in the Italian capital, politics and criminality continue to do business and the real world is governed by laws drawn up by corrupt politicians, through brokers without scruples in the shadow of an ambivalent Vatican. These were the findings of a recent judicial inquiry by the name of Mafia Capitale, which has now been brought to the big screen by Stefano Sollima’s new film, Suburra, at a time when Rome has just seen the resignation of its mayor, and is being plagued by ungovernability and the chaos of the upcoming Jubilee.

Based on the novel of the same name by Giancarlo De Cataldo (who also wrote “Romanzo Criminale”) and Carlo Bonini (the writer of “Acab”, on which the film, also directed by Sollima, is based), Suburra is neither an historic reconstruction nor a faithful account of events, rather the realistic story of a system, a universe, coloured by shades of noir and urban western. The year is 2011, a week away from the fall of the government (that of Berlusconi). In a sort of countdown to the Apocalyse announced at the beginning of the film, in a nocturnal Rome flooded by rain, we are introduced to different and apparently unconnected worlds: the political world with the honourable Malgradi (Pierfrancesco Favino), a greedy and depraved PR manager; the world of VIP parties with Sebastiano (Elio Germano), a slimy social climber; the underworld of the coastal area of Rome with Number 8 (Alessandro Borghi, the protagonist of the Italian Oscar candidate Non essere cattivo), the heir to a powerful family that manages the area. Then there’s the ‘Samurai’ (Claudio Amendola), a former member of the Magliana Gang, who seems the most harmless of all but is actually pulling a lot of the strings connecting the various worlds; Manfredi (Adamo Dionisi), the boss of a rowdy cutthroat family of gypsy loan sharks; Viola (Greta Scarano), the drug addicted girlfriend of Number 8, and Sabrina (Giulia Elettra Gorietti), an escort who works in tandem with minors. Everybody’s interests converge on the plans for a big property speculation, the so-called Waterfront, which would turn Ostia into a new Las Vegas full of hotels, clubs and casinos. In the same week, the Pope steps down (although this actually happened just over a year later).

The portrait of a humanity driven by money and extreme ambition, in which the law of the strongest prevails and there are no positive heroes, spares no one, between the halls of parliament, rooms of the Vatican, luxury hotels, flashy villas, run-down suburbs, fierce executions, drugs, parties, and protests. There’s a lot going on in Suburra, perhaps too much for just two hours of film. The TV series that will be based on it and has already been announced (comprising 10 episodes produced by Netflix, currently in development) will make much better use of so much material. The film by Sollima, who is a well-established director these days since his successful TV series based on Romanzo criminale and Gomorra, is nonetheless a flawless piece, blunt in style, without rhetoric or moralism, which features outstanding actors and has a certain ‘realism of genre’ about it that Italian production (in particular Riccardo Tozzi’s production company Cattleya) relies on a lot, ever since Romanzo criminale directed by Michele Placido ten years ago, and which is proving to be highly exportable.
