Donnie Brasco? “Forget about it.” Immersion in the microcosm of the mafia through the eyes of an undercover agent, who gradually becomes more integrated as he moves up the ladder. By showing an extended period of initiation & adaptation to the norms and rules of such a closed and autonomous universe, the movie produces a fascinating and multi-faceted ethonography where the symbolic plays the greatest part. Many strong themes shape its narrative: the substitute Father-Son relationship, the aporetic identity of the Simulation subject, the impossibility of reaching a personal moral position that is strung between opposite demands. Memorable & superlative duet performance by Depp & Al Pacino.
