Guest pick of the week: Suburra - Blood Of Rome
▻https://www.mydylarama.org.uk/Guest-pick-of-the-week-Suburra-Blood-Of-Rome

Recently, I have become addicted to the Italian Netflix series Suburra: Blood on Rome. As a fan of Gomorrah, I met this series with trepidation, wondering if this Roman ’gangster show’ would be a shadow to its Neopolitan counterpart. How wrong I was! It is a compelling exploration of Roman society, and the real-life events of the Mafia Capitale investigation which culminated in 2014.

Knife + Heart (Un couteau dans le coeur) by Yann Gonzalez - #Fragments 2019
▻https://www.mydylarama.org.uk/Knife-Heart-Un-couteau-dans-le-coeur-by-Yann-Gonzalez-Fragments-2019

You And The Night, celebrated at Cannes’s Critics’ Week in 2014, cemented Yann Gonzalez’s reputation as a truly original director, with his own brand of stylish, colourful and erotic filmmaking. With Knife+Heart, Gonzalez offers up a stylised slasher flick in the vein of Italian gialli, set in the heart of the gay porn industry in the seedier parts of 1970s Paris. The film opens with a particularly gruesome murder in which a masked killer stabs his victim repeatedly with a dildo-shaped knife. (...) Feature reviews & previews
