Claudio Giovannesi's 'La paranza
dei bambini', a Naples teen gang movie taken from the Roberto
Saviano book of the same name, is set to compete for the Golden
Bear at the 69th Berlin Film Festival on February 7-17, sources
said Thursday.
La paranza dei bambini is the third novel by Gomorrah writer
Saviano and the first to be wholly fictional, albeit based on
Naples Camorra mafia teen milieux.
Matteo Garrone's adaptation of Gomorrah won second prize at
Cannes in 2008.
