The dawn of a new Era at Brazil Cinema

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2008)

For those that only know Brazil, from their beautiful women, hot summers, white sand beaches, here comes a picture to tell you about the real Brazil, where people are forced to live in shacks and hoods ruled by gangs, drugs, and violence.
This is a movie that captures us from the very first second, with an alucinating speed on the storytelling that don't even gives you time to breath, every scene as an major importance to the hole film.
All the story is based in a simple principle " If you stay the Bug, will get you, if you run the Bug will eat you...",meaning that doesn't matter where you go in Cidade de Deus, in every corner danger is there to get you, you just spent every day trying to stay alive.
