Criminal Saints': A valuable addition for' The Sopranos' fans that delves into the series' ideas about the inevitable

 It's hard to embark on a product relative to ' The Sopranos ', the groundbreaking HBO series that ushered in the current era of prestigious television , but has yet to be equaled by any other, without having Tony and to the actor who played him. James Gandolfini carried the weight of 86 episodes on his shoulders and his absence is irreplaceable, so ' Los Santos de la Mafia ' (The Many Saints of Newark) tries to get away from his presence looking to the past.

During its six seasons 'The Sopranos' was praised for its complex characters, its almost experimental approach on the television scene of the 90s and its intelligent look at the failure of capitalism as a mold of the American way of life, but no praise is as strong as the pass of the time. At the time when more series are produced, and when the quality of production demanded of them is greater than ever, the sharpness, elegance and consistency without dent of the librettos of the HBO phenomenon are missed the most .

It's not 'Those Wonderful Tony Soprano Years'

And this is a problem not only for the lukewarm attempts to match it from other chains, but for everything that has to do with it in the future. Thus, as an independent film. 'The Criminal Saints' is not much more than a blurry and dissolute period gangster story, far removed from classics like 'The Godfather' (The Godfather, 1972) or ' One of Ours ' (Goodfellas, 1990), even from other supposedly minor ones such as ' A Bronx Story' (A Bronx Story, 1993), which it resembles to a certain extent.

As a memory of young Tony, it escapes from films with the nostalgic halo of the New York initiation cinema such as ' Memoirs of Queens ' (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, 2006), so viewers without a prior connection to the series will find A Macedonia riddled with unnecessary supporting characters and tertiary subplots that go nowhere, and to some extent it may, but it's not a normal movie. It is an annex to 'The Sopranos', it cannot function without it and it can (and should) be seen as just a longer lost chapter than usual .

More than a prequel, it is a great flashback set in the 60s around the New Jersey neighborhoods that gave rise to the popular family, and their complicated relationship the Moltisanti. In a way it is an exercise for true fans, a reward for scholars of the series that ran from 1999 to 2007. In a way there is something of the encyclopedic nature of George Lucas's 'Star Wars' prequels , more valuable as full appendices. of history and information than as films with their own autonomy.
