City of God - awesome movie
June 29, 2004 8:35 PM
Cidade de Deus (City of God) is now on DVD. I highly recommend this movie.
- City of God on Amazon
- City of God on IMDB
- Official web site
City of God is about a young photographer in Rio de Janeiro surrounded by crime, drugs, and pre-teen gangs. Amazingly it's based on a true story.
The cinematography is beautiful, the surround sound is great.
The DVD also had an excellent documentary about the favelas - the Brazilian ghettos of tightly intertwined shacks protected by drug dealers.

It's nice to see a foreigner saying good things about this movie. This is by far the best brazilian movie I've ever seen (in terms of storytelling, photography, etc).
Just to give you an idea about the repercursion of this movie, some people left the theaters before the end of the play.
