City of God
A superb movie. The story telling devices are fantastic. Ingenius use of frame story and chapter structure. Intelligent editing. Dynamic yet clean composition.
The story, we’ve seen before: in a slum where violence begets more violence, some escape and the majority succumb. However, this is violence and desperation and age (these characters are young) that are rarely admitted to in a film.
