City of god

Welcome to the world's most notorious slum : Rio de Janeiro's 'City of God'. A place where combat photographers fear to tread, where police rarely go, and residents are lucky if they live to the age 20. This is the true story of a young man who grew up on these streets and whose ambition as a photographer is our window in and ultimately may be his only way out.

  • "Für den, der in der "City of God", einem der Elendsviertel Rio de Janeiros, aufwächst, ist die Kindheit kurz. Bewaffnete Bandenkriege und Drogenhandel gehören dort zum Alltag und die tägliche Herausforderung heisst "Überleben". Genau hier wachsen der skrupellose Dadinho und der schüchterne Buscapé auf. Während Dadinho seine Zukunft im Kokain-Handel und in der Gewalt sucht, träumt Buscapé davon Fotograf zu werden. Nach 20 Jahren führt das Schicksal die beiden jungen Männer wieder zusammen. Buscapé versucht sein Glück als Fotograf und Dadinho ist der gefürchtetste Drogen-Dealer Rios geworden. Als er ein junges Mädchen vergewaltigt, schwört ihr Freund, Dadinho zu töten. So bricht über nacht in der "City of God" Krieg aus, in dem eine Armee von bewaffneten Jugendlichen alle das eine wollen: den Tod des Drogen-Königs."

  • "Follows three boys from one of the most brutal, violent, and corrupt slums in Rio de Janeiro from the 1970s to the 1990s, a period when the only spark of hope comes from the story of a boy who wants to be a photographer."
  • "Fiction. Drame social. Dans une banlieue mal famée de Rio de Janeiro, un adolescent observe les luttes de gangs où s'entretuent plusieurs de ses compagnons d'infortune. Sa position comme témoin privilégié le prédisposera au photo-journalisme. Quand la survie passe par le trafic et la consommation de drogues, la violence affecte particulièrement les enfants et les adolescents. C'est le dur constat que fait ce film inspiré de faits réels, rendus ici de manière troublante pour un très jeune public. Avec Matheus Nachtergaele, Alexandre Rodrigues, Leandro Firmino Da Hora, Jonathan Haagensen, Phellipe Haagensen, Douglas Silva, Daniel Zettel, Seu Jorge."
  • "In the 1960's, Cidade De Deus is already the most violent neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro; over the years, drugs and guns flood the area making gang war inevitable. An aspiring photographer tries to stay straight and earn a living in this environment. Remarkable South American film that was compared to "Goodfellas", truly one of the best films of 2003. PREVIOUS RELEASE DATE: 25/08/03."
  • "Finales de los 60. Buscapé tiene 11 años y es sólo un niño más en Cidade de Deus, un suburbio de Río de Janeiro. Tímido y delicado, observa a los niños duros de su barrio, sus robos, sus enfrentamientos diarios con la policía. Ya sabe lo que quiere ser si consigue sobrevivir: fotógrafo."

  • "Built in the 1960s, Cidade de Deus (City of God) is a sprawling housing project built to keep the poor as far as possible from Rio's glamorous beaches and resorts. By the 1980s, it has degenerated into a war zone so dangerous that visitors from outside risk being shot to death on sight, a poisonous stew of poverty, drugs, and crime. "If you run away, they get you, and if you stay, they get you, too," says Rocket, who wants to be a photographer. Rocket's brother, friends, and neighbors begin with truck stick-ups, which lead to brothel hold-ups that lead to murder that leads to coke dealing that leads to street brawls with armies of gun-toting 11-year-olds. Soon a full-scale gang war rages in the City of God--understandably not covered by wary Rio photojournalists--but just the opportunity Rocket needs to make his move, get a job at a newspaper, and get out."
  • "A tale of how crime affects the poor population of Rio de Janeiro. Cabeleira forms a gang called the Tender Trio. He and his best friend, Bene, become crime lords over the course of a decade. When Bene is killed before he can retire, hid friend Little Ze attempts to take out his arch enemy, Sando Cenoura. But Sando and a young gangster named Manu form an alliance and begin a gang war with Little Ze. Amateur photographer Buscape, a good-natured boy who comically learns that he's not cut out to be a hoodlum, takes pictures of the brutal crime war, making their story famous."

Dans une favela qui a vu le jour à Rio de Janeiro dans les années soixante, Fusée est un gamin noir, pauvre, trop fragile pour devenir hors-la-loi, mais assez malin pour ne pas se contenter d'un travail sous payé. Il grandit dans un environnement violent, mais tente de voir la réalité autrement, avec l'oeil d'un artiste. Il rêve de devenir photographe professionnel. Petit Dé, un enfant de onze ans, emménage dans la Cité. Il souhaite pour sa part devenir le plus grand criminel de Rio et commence son apprentissage en rendant de menus services à la pègre locale. Il admire Tignasse et son gang, qui arraisonnent les camions et cambriolent à tout va. Tignasse donne à Petit Dé l'occasion de commettre un meurtre, le premier d'une longue série."

  • "Using street kids straight from the Cidade de Deus slum outside Rio de Janeiro, Fernando Meirelles' film is based on actual events that happened in the slum. The story, revealed by Buscape - a street kid who decides to become a photojournalist when he discovers he is not cut out to become a villain - revolves around the shadowy world of drugs and the violence which increases with each generation. Li'l Ze has grown up to become a natural-born-killer and attempt to take over the drugs trade of the city. However, this sparks a turf."

Aún teniendo todo en su contra, su valiente ambición de convertirse en fotógrafo profesional no sólo es una ventana a través de la cual ve su mundo, sino es también su salvación" --Envase."

Only a sucker wouldn't have turned to crime and this is exactly how naive teen Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) views himself. His attempts in illegal activity fail as he finds potential victims too friendly. Equally unsuccessful in love, he regularly fails to lose his virginity.
