Vincenzo Marra’s documentary The Triplet focuses on the life of a charismatic prisoner, while Caesar Must Die by the Taviani brothers sees a group of inmates staging a production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Matteo Garrone’s Cannes Grand Prix-winning Reality takes place outside a prison context but stars convicted camorrista Aniello Arena as a fishmonger obsessed with appearing on Grande Fratello, the Italian version of Big Brother.

13. Reality (2012) Movie Review from Eye for Film
Missing: synopsis | Show results with:synopsis
Reality may, like director Matteo Garrone's previous film Gomorrah (2008), be set in Naples, boast an ensemble of characters and even feature a bit of small-time organised crime, but there all resemblances end. For where Gomorrah represented the very essence of fly-on-the-wall naturalism, Reality is a heady, hyperreal confection, with its big frames and bold colours no less larger-than-life than its celebrity-hungry protagonist Luciano (Aniello Arena). And while he is surrounded by an outsize menagerie of family and friends, there is never any doubt that it is Luciano alone who occupies centre stage, with the others merely supporting players. And if Reality is, like Gomorrah, concerned with resistible moral descent, this time Luciano's downward spiral is played for surreal laughs, with any serious lasting consequences carefully kept off the screen.
