City of God (2002)

City of God is a 2002 Brazilian crime film adapted from a novel but loosely based on true events. It is often included in film critics' "best film" lists and is included in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. I watched it on HBO Max.

    1. I've forgotten now why we added it, but it has a lot of classic and critically acclaimed films I'd been looking for.

    1. Me either. I'd never have watched it if it hadn't been on that list. I am glad I came across it.
