Zielen van Napels

Souls Of Naples is yet another example of a film that documents a peek into the lives of people trying to survive in X city. I've seen this lots and lots of times. Ever since Koyanassiquatsi and Baraka came out, this seems to be an obsessive topic for filmmakers, EG film has essentially no structure, meandering from one person to another, some scenery footage, etc. Let's see, I've seen films done like this on Iran, Rio De Janeiro, Rome, and Eastern Europe. Now it's Naples turn. This is OK, we see many different varieties of people, rich and poor, just married and widowed, rich areas, poor areas, and so on. We also get a glimpse into Gypsy life, which surprisingly made my blood boil, as I have had some rather nasty encounters with them in real life, so imagine my surprise when I became riled up during this portion of this movie. All in all, it's just an OK movie. Nothing really you haven't seen before.
