City of God is a gripping visceral experience of a film that puts American gangster films to shame.
It's at time documentary like portrayal of the intersecting lives of Rocket, Li'l Ze, Carrot, Benny growing up in the cycle of violence and demonstrates in a perfection of the format the way there is no escape from this world.
Fernando Meirelles eye in this film is both stunning and shocking at times I both wanted to but couldn't look away. The use of perspective in peculator was beautiful and entraining and this was often very successfully with use of reflections, from the scenes and in the glistening bodies of the actors.
This was undoubtedly a 5 star film and i am eager to re-watch to deepen my understanding.
