Bambola

In Bambola (1996), director Matteo Garrone crafts a grim tale of a woman named Mina, nicknamed Bambola, who inherits a pizzeria with her homosexual brother Flavio after their mother's death. Bambola's life spirals into chaos when a loan from Ugo, a local figure, leads to his murder at the hands of her volatile boyfriend Settimio. Her visits to Settimio in jail introduce her to Furio, a sadistic prisoner, marking the beginning of a dangerous new chapter.
