God and His City

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2002)

Who supports the Brazilian traffic? Who supports 'Zé Galinha'? As the journalist in this movie, people who adore to talk bad about the police and the thieves. Hypocrites that adore to light a joint to relax and only think about himself. I know that this side does not only exist, that the traffic has much more webs around it, and we cannot cannot forget how that is very important.
This film is choking, violent, rude, intense and wonderful. I really loved it. But you got to see more then one time for true agreement and to notice how the death became a current thing in lives in Brazil.
This productions that finally can be the one to bring the Oscar for Brazil in the category of foreigner movie. It had made great success in the Cannes Festival and conquered some prizes in Brazil with a incredible box office to the long one of the year. If not to take the prize, the indications already would be welcome, but again, it would be a tremendous injustice...
