Exceptional

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2018)

Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund are taking you on a journey through the gruesome and painful life of the inhabitants of the Cidade de Deus. Throughout the movie you become a part of this society which leads to an even better understanding of the horrible details this city has to offer. Some scenes are highly disturbing while others are simply beautiful. This change between good and bad gives this film even more strenght.
The acting is astounding and so is the entire atmosphere in every part of the movie.
For me this is one of the best movies in all of movie history and unfortunately a very underrated piece of art.
