'City of Men' executed with compassion and grit
17/07/2008 - 20:37:27
 Director: Paulo Morelli
Cast: Darlan Cunha, Douglas Silva, Rodrigo Dos Santos
Cert: 15
'City of Men' is set in the streets of Rio, where two friends in their late teens start to wonder who their fathers are - all set against a gang war raging in said streets.
It’s, as you might expect, a gritty, dark drama of friendship, fractured families and fierce rivalry and it’s done with compassion in what almost verges on a docu style: it’s a film but not quite a film.
Star Rating: 4/5
