Angela

Aroview: A solid, if oblique drama depicting the doings of the 1980s Sicilian Mafia as seen through the eyes of mob-wife Finocchiaro.

Although enjoying the trappings of luxury, she is beset by a certain disenchantment with her life, which comes to a crisis when a handsome new lieutenant is recruited to the fold. Despite its excess of moody sentiment, the intimate camerwork and unusual tone are distinctive.
