Muy parecido a Goodfellas o el padrino, solo que en un lugar distinto, las favelas brasileñas, y su aproximación a lo que sería estar a estos lugares es interesante.La obra posee numero... read more

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. The first time around, I was just so completely blown away and, at the time, I was convinced that it was one of the best movies I have ever seen.

"No es de extrañar que esta cinta fue grabada en auténticas favelas con gente que está metido en esas bandas peligrosas. El protagonista quizás sea la parte menos interesante de la película, pero es el que nos adentra en todo este submundo que parece más el basurero de la ciudad."

A Brazilian masterwork

“Such an amazing film that deserves the accolades and acclaimed hype it's garnered. One of the best foreign language films there is and one of the best films personally seen recently, after a long time of being on my to see list but taking a while to get round to it due to being so busy and going through a difficult phase.

Perhaps 'City of God' is not for everybody. It is not some audience members' idea of being entertaining, and is pretty unflinching, uncompromising and challenges the viewer. It does, with that being said, a superlative job bringing those qualities to life, and there are others, including myself, who judge films by what they set out to do rather than just wanting to be "entertained".
