City of God (2002)
Movie
Released
Fast-moving storytelling follows lives caught in a neighbourhood where violence and opportunity become dangerously entangled. The energy draws you in without making the consequences small. It is a demanding but compelling way to discover Brazilian cinema and to see how an ensemble story can make a place feel bigger than any single protagonist.
