Buftex Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 "City of God" is probably the best movie I have seen in the last 5 years, indie or Hollywood. If you have not seen it, you have to! It is a Brazillian movie, you can watch it on DVD with sub-titles or dubbed. This is not some "boring art film", but a very quick paced, funny, tragic film about the gangs that are overrunning the streets of Brazils poorest cities. It is based on a true story, and is not dull, even for a second! I think of it as a Brazillian "Goodfelllas" in a strange way. It owes some techinique credit to Tarantino, but has much more depth than any of his films. The music is awesome. It got eliminated for Oscar consideration, because the Brazilian film institute (government run) did not submitt it on time. Brazillians are known for their procrastinating. I will warn, the film is a little violent at times, so if you are adverse to that kind of thing, I am sorry for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something other than the usual Hollywood movies for the masses is always cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoRic Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Whats your favorite non Hollywood independent movie. Here's three of my favs. Clerks(obvious) Dead Pet American Movie 45622[/snapback] I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Buffalo '66. Vince Gallo is at his understated best as an angst-ridden ex-con and unrepentant Bills fan, and Christina Ricci is is just plain hot! This is one of those movies that might make you squirm while watching it because some scenes are just so intensely personal. Watch it, learn it, and love it.
