Synopsis
Black Souls (Anime Nere, 2014) is an Italian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — Francesco Munzi's bleak portrait of a Calabrian family bound by blood.
Three brothers from the mountains of Calabria share a bloodline and a business. The eldest, Luciano, herds goats and wants no part of the family trade; the other two run drugs on an international scale. Their fragile peace shatters the night Luciano's hotheaded son fires on a rival's bar and reopens a feud everyone thought was buried. What follows is the cold arithmetic of vendetta, where talk of honor ends in one funeral after another.
Shot in real Aspromonte villages in the local dialect, the film swept nine David di Donatello awards, the directing prize and Best Picture among them. Munzi films the 'Ndrangheta with none of the usual gangster gloss — quiet, near-documentary, soaked in dread. A strong watch if you rate Gomorrah and slow-burn crime over shootout spectacle.
