City Of God: my favorite scenes in this Brazilian masterpiece focus on the dynamic drug-dealing duo of Benny & Lil Ze. Despite their distinctly different personalities, the playboy & the maniac successfully take control of Rio de Janeiro's roughest favela!

City of God (Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund, 2002)

Cast: Alexandre Rodrigues, Leandro Firmino, Phellipe Haagensen, Douglas Silva, Jonathan Haagensen, Matheus Nachtergaele. Screenplay: Bráulio Mantovani, based on a novel by Paulo Lins. Cinematography: César Charlone. Production design: Tulé Peak. Film editing: Daniel Rezende. Music: Ed Côrtes, Antonio Pinto. 

City of God is an exceptionally involving docudrama that employs non-professional actors to stunning effect. The only experienced professional in the cast was Matheus Nachtergaele, who plays the drug dealer known as "Carrot." The rest were mostly recruited from the streets and slums of Rio de Janeiro, and put through several months of training, largely under the supervision of Kátia Lund, who also worked with the cast during filming and is billed as "co-director." Lund had become familiar with Rio's slum-dwellers through her work on music videos and documentary films. The shape of the film, including its flashback structure and use of quick cutting and hand-held camera, is largely that of Fernando Meirelles, whose later work includes coverage of the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympics in Rio. And that reliance on flashy camerawork and narrative tricks is, I think, the greatest flaw of City of God. It detracts from some of our involvement in the lives of its characters, turning away from documentary-like reality into sheer "movie-making." Nevertheless, the film successfully immerses us in the violent lives of the people of the favelas. It was a significant critical and even commercial hit, earning four Oscar nominations, a rare feat for a foreign-language film, although it wasn't submitted by Brazil for the foreign-language Oscar. Instead it was nominated for best director, best adapted screenplay, cinematography, and film editing. Some controversy arose when only Meirelles was cited in the directing nomination, but the Academy has strict eligibility rules, and Lund's credit of "co-director" was judged to be a disqualifier. Given my reservations about Meirelles's use of the camera, I think maybe Lund deserved the nomination more than he did.

Greetings Ines Chaieb,

My passion for Street Photography is why I am sharing this film. It may seem counterintuitive but it is safer than Musician.

« It was like a message from God: “Honesty doesn’t pay, sucker.”

Where to even begin? This is magical if the word magical was ever turned into a movie. The cinematography just fits in really well with the whole vibe of the film and it depicts real life occurrences in a very gritty manner that doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It makes me sympathize with killers and drug dealers, even. It makes them human in a way that’s not forced. I love it so much and a majority of the reason why is because of how realistic yet unpredictable it is.
