Well done foreign film

Rating: 9/10 (15 October 2018)

I am a big fan of this foreign film, because it's nice to see directors having a different point of view then the classic Hollywood film. It's a fast pace movie with subtitles, but worth the watch. City of God is the epitome of a great foreign film. It showcases the classic struggle between right and wrong, in a twist of lifestyle differences. The raw directing style, coupled with a great soundtrack makes for a movie which many different kinds of people can enjoy. Whether you are a top scholar or someone just wanting to watch a film this movie is for both. The continuity of editing helped the movie flow. Also, the vicious cycle of the gangster lifestyle is portrayed with cringing accuracy. The many close up of characters help you sympathize with people you thought you wouldn't be able to. All in all, City of God is a very well done film which you can find yourself relating to a whole different lifestyle.
