A Portuguese masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2004)

Even though I'm a guy who doesn't like watching movies whose speech is in languages other than English/Hebrew, I had no problems watching this intense Portuguese masterpiece, with subtitles of course. ;)
As soon as the movie started I got caught up in the tough story of "City Of God", which is quite shocking and in some parts really hard to watch. But still, I couldn't get my eyes off of it.
The most charming part of the movie is the fact that it's not focusing on just one character. It shows us different lives of different people growing up in the same hard environment yet chose different paths to walk in.
You readers got to watch it, it's a definite masterpiece.
