CITY OF GOD on DVD, directed by Fernando Meirelles, nominated for four Oscar / Academy Awards. Brazilian Portuguese with English subtitles. The disc is used but in great shape, with no problems with play; there are no scratches or skips; the case and outer insert are all in good shape; NOT a previous rental copy. Ships first class with tracking.

From the Roger Ebert review of the film: "The movie takes place in slums constructed by Rio to isolate the poor people from the city center. They have grown into places teeming with life, color, music and excitement--and also with danger, for the law is absent and violent gangs rule the streets. In the virtuoso sequence opening the picture, a gang is holding a picnic for its members when a chicken escapes. Among those chasing it is Rocket, the narrator. He suddenly finds himself between two armed lines: the gang on one side, the cops on the other. As the camera whirls around him, the background changes and Rocket shrinks from a teenager into a small boy, playing soccer in a housing development outside Rio. To understand his story, he says, we have to go back to the beginning, when he and his friends formed the Tender Trio and began their lives of what some would call crime and others would call survival."
