On the official Massive Attack myspace page and official site have just appeared a track and a video that Del Naja and friends have realized for the soundtrack of Gomorrah, the movie inpired by the book of Roberto Saviano now translated in Eglish language. This guy, 29 years old, is a dead man walking because of his book.
Gomorrah is without doubt the best movie I have been involved with. When the director Matteo Garrone first showed me the film, I was blown away and I told him that no score was needed - basically talking myself out of a job. After trying a few scenes with score, we agreed. I then wrote the exit music, with assistance from Euan and Neil at 1.6. I spent last weekend in New York, where Martin Scorsese presented the movie in a small cinema on 6th ave. NY always charges me with a sense of romance and bewilderment, in a strangely similar way to the city of Naples. Napoli is the city of my father and this movie represents only a percentage of the population, there is also great beauty, mystery and humanity on every corner. The movie is not against the Camorra but about the Camorra, whos system, in my opinion mirrors that of the Italian state in it's corruption and the many individuals who are not so different in their relentless pursuit of power and wealth. check it out if you get the time..

Good shit. I've been waiting for this movie, and gonna pick up the book too. Massive Attack actually sounds like they are up to something. And Saviano should probably get his ass out of Italy. Just waiting to read about him being murdered.

yes it is sad to say but i'm waiting for that too. some recently arrested boss said that they were planning to bomb him before christmas. if he gets his ass out of italy is just because police escort apart, the state authorities are somehow turning him the back. it won't be the first time that politics here in italy prostrate to the mafias. i hope they manage to make him dissappear completely cos Camorra have a very long memory, they can take people down after twenty years for much less.

also its good if you see the movie and pick up the book too. if the director is more interest to the anthropological side of the story (some of the actors, taken directly from the streets have been arrested for minor crimes some months after the movie came out), Saviano has a different approach, more concentrated on the business side, so both of them stand to their own.
