A scene from Gomorrah
Photo: IFC Films I have yet to see the Italian Mafia feature Gomorrah, but since the film won the Grand Prix in Cannes it has been earning plenty of buzz on its way to the States and along with becoming the front runner in the Best Foreign Language Feature category it has also earned some recognition in other categories including Best Adapted Screenplay and things just improved for the feature, which will begin its Oscar-qualifying run this week in Los Angeles and then expand on December 19.

Cologne, Germany -- "Gomorra," Matteo Garrone's no-holds-barred look at the modern-day Italian mafia, whacked the competition at the 2008 European Film Awards, sweeping the top categories with five trophies including best European film and best European director.
Based on the nonfiction bestseller by Roberto Saviano, "Gomorra" shines a light on the dark underside of the Neapolitan mob. It debuted in Cannes, where it won the Grand Prix and is Italy's nominee for the 2009 foreign-language film Oscar.
Toni Servillo won best European actor for his portrayal of the dapper crime boss Franco, in charge of the lucrative business of disposing of toxic waste in picturesque farmland across the country.
Garrone and Saviano, along with a screenwriting team that included Maurizio Braucci, Ugo Chiti, Gianni di Gregorio and Massimo Gaudioso, won the Efa screenplay prize, and Marco Onorato took the best cinematographer nod.
