#90.City of Men
Director: Paulo Morelli
Screenplay: Elena Soarez
Producers: Andrea Barata Ribeiro, Bel Berlinck, Fernando Meirelles and Morelli
Distributor: Miramax Films
The Gist: Scripted by Elena Soarez, turning 18 is a highly-charged moment for anyone but when you’ve grown up in the slum of Pool Hall Hill crammed into Rio de Janeiro’s hillside where life is cheap and prospects are minimal, coming of age has its added tribulations. Wallace (Darlan Cunha) and Acerola (Douglas Silva) are inseparable childhood friends and closer than brothers.
Fact: Cidade De Deus (City of God) has produced a spin-off television show and of course, this sequel.
See It: The explosive original film was an IONCINEMA.com top film of the year – I’m not sure about you people, but this is perhaps the most anticipated “sequel” this year.
Release Date/Status?: Miramax Films releases this in limited theaters on February 29th.
