CITY OF MEN
The film
Best buddies Acerola and Laranjinha, about to turn 18, discover things about their missing fathers’ pasts which will shatter their solid friendship, in the middle of a war between rival drug gangs from Rio’s favelas.” Honestly doesn’t even feel like a movie, but like I’m actually following these guys around in Brazil. Heavy but fascinating watch. Also recommend “City of God,
which is an absolute masterpiece. Rented on Prime.
