not to Goncharov Post but I did go poking around about the real original movie and honestly it's p cool!
it's originally made in a mix of both Italian and Neapolitan, which is a separate language from Italian with a variety of dialects spread across Italy (though yes, centrally in Naples)
the movie came out in 2008 (not at ALL 1973) & did decently at film festivals! there's also a (apparently just as good, 58 episode) tv show also based on the same book
quite a few actual "Mafia" (Camorra) members acted in the movie (and TV show) and were later convicted of Hella Crimes. (Wikipedia has a section titled "Cast members arrested".) It's also alleged that the director (Matteo Garrone, not Scorcese, though their films have other similarities) had to pay 20,000 euros basically as "please don't burn us down" protection money
the movie & tv show are based on a nonfiction book published in 2006 (that you can read! for free! here!) about the actual organized crime in Naples, primarily the Casalesi clan of the Camorra, by a guy who went undercover to infiltrate them (in his late 20s!!)
Unlike the Japanese Yakuza (who reviewed Yakuza 3) with the similar book Tokyo Vice (by Jake Adelstein, who's 10 years older, published in 2009), the book author Roberto Saviano very much got death threats from the Casalesi and had to be under police protection with ten bodyguards at least from 2006-2014 (& possibly still is? I don't want to read Italian to find out)
the Italian govt gave the author police protection after not just the death threats but also an appeal started by six Nobel Peace Prize winners, including (again, all of this is true) Mikhail Gorbachev.
anyways here are your Peer-Reviewed Actually True Facts about Goncharov (1973, dir. Martin Scorcese) Gomorrah (2008, prod. Domenico Procacci).

Since there aren’t any Bayonetta variants who have a pact with Gomorrah I decided to design my own!
She is based in London and has a pronounced Cockney accent. She’s more aggressive and foul-mouthed compared to other Bayos, more in line with Jeanne’s personality really.
A Bayonetta who is completely alone in the world. She knows what fate awaits her in Inferno due to her pact with a vicious demon like Gomorrah and has adopted a cold-hearted demeanor to cope.

In the Bible, the city of Sodom was destroyed by the wrath of God. Now some researchers using geographical data from the Bible think they might have found it.

and the Lord began to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. He caused fire and burning sulfur to fall from the sky.

the worst thing about the otherwise perfect goncharov lore is how many people looked into the original shoe post and now actually believe that critically acclaimed italian crime film gomorrah (2008) was actually directed by martin scorsese. roberto saviano didn't spend the last 15 years living under police escort for this

Imagine having grown up in Naples, Italy and having witnessed the violence and misery caused by the mafia your whole life. Imagine writing a book about it titled Gomorra. Imagine that book being such a precise and detailed account of the inner workings of the napolitan mafia, known as the camorra, that they put a hit on you and you have to be put under permanent police surveillance, even to this very day. Imagine a movie gets made about your book, also titled Gomorra, directed by Matteo Garrone and produced by Martin Scorsese. Imagine some brand sells knockoff shoes and for some reason, has a label that mispells the title of Gomorra as Goncharov. Imagine someone makes an offhand joke about it (idiot hasn't seen goncharov). Imagine two years later it gains traction and becomes Goncharov (1973) on tumblr. Imagine being Roberto Saviano right now. I wonder if he knows
