    City of God

    Posted by AlexBellos 10 August 2005

    This film about drug wars in the shantytowns isn’t exactly sponsored by the tourist board. Yet it gives a great insight into why Rio is like it is – a question you will ask when you see the vast favelas on the cab ride in from the airport. The energy, music and visual splendour of the film exude the flavour of the city.
