City of God

DateThursday, November 26, 2009 at 12:00PM

 

Release Year: 2002

Review: My second viewing of this definitely reinforced my love for this film.  It's simply awe-inspiring to behold.  The brutal violence is justified with deep characters and heady material.  There are no lulls and the film engulfs you in this horrible slum world that is City of God.  It is a visual masterpiece, that draws you in with its eye candy and rips you apart with its gut wrenching story.  

[First Review: June 27th, 2008] Review: A really fantastic movie. One of the best foreign films I have ever seen. I can't overstate how beautifully the movie is shot and how powerful the message is.
Rating: 5/5
