A new Brazilian Classic: a most excellent, creative film

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2003)

City of God was one of the most thought provoking films that I have seen in years. The movie bears slight resemblance to "Trainspotting" in character although its content is far superior because it is based on real people living out real situations. It gives us a glimpse into human nature in a way that few films have ever attempted. The docudrama-styled filming of the movie transports the audience unconditionally. This film deserves an Oscar!
