City of God is Eloquent Violence | CineFix Top 100

“Where do you want to take the shot? In the hand or in the foot?”

In 2002, City of God came charging out of a Brazillian favela to take over seemingly every critic’s top ten list. The decades-spanning crime drama from Fernando Meirelles and co-director Kátia Lund is a fast paced epic fueled by violence. It’s a great film led by an unlikely cast of non-actors recruited from the actual favela and Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the most stressful movie list, the strange Academy Awards directorial oversight and Cal’s favorite kind of movie (Scorsese clones) on their way to discovering where the film ranks on the CineFix Top 100.

Meanwhile, producer Dan’s algorithm moves only in shadow…
