City of God

[Kev]

City of God is fantastic, not one for those who like saccharine Hollywood takes on things. I would say the murder of kids in the film would bother HTH, but as none of them are foul-mouthed cockney chubsters I think he'd be fine with it

I'd recommend Bus 174, it's a Brazilian documentary, one of the best I've seen. It really brings to life just how real City of God is.

Speaking of foreign films has anybody seen Un Pophete and The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo?

I've downloaded both but not watched them, but have been told by people who have seen them that they are both brilliant films. I was going to read the books before watching Dragon Tatoo but might watch Un Prophete over the weekend.

I know Pan's Labrythinth is meant to be spectacular as well....
