Stella
Stella is a working class kid who has just started at an up-market high school in Paris in 1977. She’s 11 but you grow up fast when your parents run a bar and flophouse for losers. School washes over her and she’s the worst kid in the class, but she knows all about the important stuff: cocktails, pinball, soccer, playing cards. Slowly, however, she gets the picture and realises the limitations of ignorance and apathy. Sylvie Verheyde’s gentle yet remarkable feature invites comparison with Truffaut’s 400 Blows
as a vivid study of a child pushed quickly towards the adult world. It takes seriously the business of being a girl with all of its vulnerability, its insecurities, its pressures to be cool, but also its resilience and defiance. Verheyde never patronises or sentimentalises her protagonist and draws great performances out of her young actors. And French pop music has never sounded so good.
Gomorrah
Roberto Saviano’s best-selling exposé of the Neopolitan mafia, the Camorra, has galvanised Italian public opinion, sent politicians running for cover, and forced its author into hiding. Now its film adaptation has almost singlehandly launched talk of a renaissance for Italian cinema. Garrone has taken on the huge task of adapting Saviano’s book by focussing on five stories found within its pages: a compromised middle man finds nowhere to hide when gang war breaks out on his block, a young boy learns that betrayal is the price of winning a place in the gang, a tailor learns the cost of switching sides to work for the Chinese, a toxic waste company shows how it deals with inconvenient truths, and two young punks get lucky…but not for long. What emerges is a detailed deglamourisation of the mafia genre, a sense of how the gangs finally pull down everything on
which they lay their hands.
