Review of City of God (2002) by Sakata — 06 Oct 2018
Transgessor. Daring. Violent. Exciting. It shows with authenticity the life of the inhabitants of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. With a masterful performance by Leandro Firmino da Hora (curiously, an inexperienced actor at the time), besides the good performances of singer Jorge, Alexandre Rodrigues (protagonist of the film), Matheus Nachtergaele, Alice Braga (now known internationally), among others , and also a great script, able to tell several stories in a short time, without making mistakes in the development of any plot .
.. This is the Brazilian cinema. And this is the naked truth of many cities in the country, which, although it has many political and social problems, proves that it is not artistically limited as many Brazilians and foreigners think.
