City of God – movie – absolutely brilliant film

leave a comment »

Wow, I watched this movie this weekend along with Almost Famous, one of my wife’s favorites. Anyway, City of God is not your typical blockbuster but if you appreciate creative film with complex shots, the cinematography will blow your mind!  It is a long movie but the way it is shot keeps you engaged.  The realism of the movie is fantastic and the fact that it is entirely in Portuguese enhances the film’s raw nature.  If you are turned off by movies not in English, don’t bother.  Althought the subtitles distracted a bit, it was still a great experience.  Highly recommend it!
