City of God
Overview
Rio's favelas, shot like a music video, hitting like a punch. City of God follows kids growing up in the Cidade de Deus from the '60s to the '80s — some pick up cameras, some pick up guns. The energy is relentless, the violence shocking, and the storytelling electric. Based on real life, which makes it land even harder. One of the great crime films, full stop. Subtitles worth it, trust me.
