| Plot |
| Fernando Meirelles ' City of God is a sweeping tale of how crime affects the poor population of Rio de Janeiro. Though the narrative skips around in time, the main focus is on Cabeleira who formed a gang called the Tender Trio. He and his best friend, Bene ( Phelipe Haagensen ), become crime lords over the course of a decade. When Bene is killed before he can retire, Little Ze attempts to take out his arch enemy, Sando Cenoura ( Matheus Nachtergaele ). But Sando and a young gangster named Manu form an alliance and begin a gang war with Little Ze. Amateur photographer Buscape ( Alexandre Rodrigues ) takes pictures of the brutal crime war, making their story famous. City of God was screened at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival . — Perry Seibert |
