Best foreign Drama/Action film I have seen...

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2003)

Simply amazing. I gave this film nine out of ten. Time and time again I have been surprised at how good foreign films can be. "Y tu mamá también" was a great foreign film I seen recently as well. However it cannot compare to the depth and feeling that you get from "Cidade de Deus" or as us Americans would call it "City of God". Not only is it a story told very well,but it also is shot very well. I had never seen such great production value out of a foreign film that wasn't an action adventure or anime film. I would be interested in seeing a documentary about the making of this film.

****POSSIBLE SPOILER****
I would especially like to know just how they shot the low camera chasing the chicken so perfectly. It was great.
****END OF POSSIBLE SPOILER**** Once again I gave this film a 9 out of 10 and it was an easy decision. Go watch it now.
