Cidade dos Homens

Yesterday, May and I watched Cidade dos Homens (City of Men), the sequel to Cidade de Deus (City of God). It’s quite a bit more violent, and gave me the feeling of innocence being lost. Nevertheless, it’s a gripping and fascinating depiction of life in the favelas. Highy recommended.

Here are two other Brazilian movies for you:

Central do Brasil and Dois Filhos de Francisco.

They show a different side of Brazil from the 70’s.
