Cidade dos Homens




http://www.cityofmen-themovie.com/

Above is the link to the new film City of Men. Its from the same director as City of God, which if you haven't seen is a phenomenal movie, and a must on everyones list. Buy it blindly. "If you don't like it I'll pay for it." Panda

This new film is largely set around the same premise as City of God, or at least thats what I get from it.

Synopsis: In CITY OF MEN, producer Fernando Meirelles (The Constant Gardner) returns to the Brazilian favelas of his Academy Award-nominated film, City of God. Growing up in a culture dictated by violence and run by street gangs, teenagers Acerola (Douglas Silva) and Laranjinha (Darlan Cunha) have become close as brothers. With their eighteenth birthdays fast approaching, Laranjinha sets out to find the father he never met, while Acerola struggles to raise his own young son. But when they suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of a gang war, the lifelong friends are forced to confront a shocking secret from their shared past.


Looks like it'll be a great flick. Hopefully everyone checks it out.

And for all those wonder, no Seu Jorge will not have a staring role in this film, nor will he have any minor role from what I can see.

Bye Byes
