In the next episode of Phoenix Cinema Podcast Film Club, Chris Austin and Luke Parker dive into the 2002 Brazilian gangster classic, City Of God.
This is a brutal, brutal movie in so many ways but it's also a classic in every way. Violent, vivid, funny at times, and with a snappy pace that never lets up, this is a vision of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro that made Chris fearful of ever visiting Brazil for a long while. Probably not the best advertisement for a tourist board but thrilling in its honesty and depiction of those growing up on the toughest streets there is.
Listen on as Chris and Luke dive into what makes the film so great, its enduring legacy and the filmmakers and cast behind it all!
