Suburra

Suburra is a crime drama set in Rome, where a powerful criminal known as Samurai plans to turn the waterfront into a gambling and construction hub on the scale of Las Vegas. Politicians, clergy and organized crime families all stand to profit, and the city's mob bosses initially agree to cooperate. That truce frays as rival gangs, corrupt officials and figures from the Church pursue their own interests, and the deal begins to collapse. A police commissioner senses that the violence erupting in the streets stems from something larger than a territorial feud. The screenplay, written by Sandro Petraglia, Stefano Rulli and Giancarlo De Cataldo, follows a politician, a builder's son and others caught in the upheaval.

Stefano Sollima directed, following his 2012 debut A.C.A.B. - All Cops Are Bastards and preceding Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Tom Clancy's Without Remorse and Adagio. The cast includes Pierfrancesco Favino, Claudio Amendola, Alessandro Borghi, Elio Germano, Greta Scarano and Giulia Elettra Gorietti, with thirty credited performers. The Italian production had a budget of about 7 million dollars.
