6. Mob Girl (2020)
If you are familiar with the work of Paolo Sorrentino, then you will know how the director has always made aesthetic films, while retaining, or showing an interest in the mob. In fact, one of his earlier movies that catapulted him to fame, ‘The Consequences of Love’ or ‘Le conseguenze dell’amore’, deals with the mafia in Italy. With ‘Mob Girl’ Sorrentino has turned his focus to the New York crime families.
We meet the protagonist who grows up on the Lower East Side and is drawn to the flashy lifestyle of the wiseguys. Soon she is dating them and running errands for them, well into the mob life. However, she eventually becomes a police informant and even rats on the Colombo family.
People involved with the project spoke about it, saying, “Seeing this story from a woman’s point of view is a fresh and exciting approach to telling a classic mob story. We could not imagine a more perfect team of stellar filmmakers, with Jennifer starring in a tour de force role and Paolo at the helm, to bring Arlyne’s strength and unique perspective to life on screen.”
