Early Tuesday Movie Night: Cidade de Deus/City of God (2002) @ 1730 EDT/2130 UTC/2330 CET

In lieu of Gomorrah (2008), I’m showing Cidade de Deus/City of God (2002) tonight. Romanzo Criminale series 2 will begin next week! Gomorrah is a slog to watch, good, but unflinchingly bleak in how it presents the mundanity of the violence the Camorra do in Naples and vicinity.

Cidade de Deus/City of God, on the other hand, is fun. Based on a true story and shot in and around Rio de Janeiro, it follows a couple of kids from the margins of the city as they chase their dreams. Rocket dreams of being a photographer. Zé Pequeno wants to build a drug empire.

      I haven’t watched Pixote, although I’ve meant to for a long time, but I think City of God is a great film! It definitely has a lot of gratuitous violence but I don’t think it’s glorifying it, very much a critique.

      Shout out to the Red Brigade!
