Set in the “City of God” one of the slums of Rio de Janeiro plagued by violence and drug trafficking, the film shows gang warfare juxtaposed with peoples’ every day lives. The result is one of those films where you really feel like you’re in the action, where the term “filmgoing experience” isn’t just talk. That’s why we think City of God is a film to watch (or, rather, experience) before you die.
