Flame of malignance

A petty gangster is keeping the nice people of local businesses on their toes in a small Italian coastal town. Dog groomer Marcello, who is friends with everybody (even with the gangster himself), is caught in a such moral crossfire that only a severe backstabbing can dissolve. A lowkey Italian crime thingy, shot to perfection and absolutely stellar performances by Marcello Fonte and Edoardo Pesce, but despite all the brutal shit going on, it couldn't really keep the tempo alive the whole time.
