Mind blowing!

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 2007)

The good news:

Remarkable! You call tell that "City of God" is a unique film right from the titles chicken chase. An extremely well-shot, very realistic view of the other side of the world, a must see in every way,

The (few) bad news:

Its so clearly and flawlessly shot (utilizing multiple camera angles, difficult view shots) that its hard to believe that its not Hollywood-produced. Fernando Meirelles - who later shot the "Constant Gardener" - had either tremendous ingenuity or a tremendous budget.

Conclusion:

See it and it will be with you forever (9/10).
