Review of City of God (2002) by Alejandro R — 03 Oct 2015
I really wanted to watch this film when it was first released in 2003 so I'm glad to finally got to watch it in 2015. Brilliantly done! I have a deep appreciation for films that are based on true stories and tell them those stories in very engaging and penetrating way.
Those are some of the most engrossing film projects and this one is no exception. It's a very revealing look into drug gang violence in 1970s Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and one particular gang war that became famous thanks to a kid's passion for photography and his new job at a newspaper.
