Synopsis By ©Curzon Cinemas |
| Co-produced by Walter Salles (CENTRAL STATION), Meirelles' third feature was the toast of Cannes 2002 and is surely one of the most kinetic and exhilarating films of the year. A stunningly realised exploration of organised crime in Rio de Janeiro's sprawling shantytowns, it also completes an astounding resurgence in Latin American filmmaking. Full of pertinent social and political insights, the film charts the drug dealing, racketeering, gang warfare and ineffectual policing that transforms the slums into constant, violent battlegrounds. Extremely stylish with a decade spanning powerhouse narrative, the film also boasts remarkable performances from neighbourhood residents, many of whom are acting for the very first time. Passionate and profoundly affecting, CITY OF GOD is cinema at its most essential.
