A leading example of a resurgent Latin American cinema - 'la buena onda' - in the early twenty-first century, 'City of God' was a huge international popular and critical success. A combination of intoxicating, Hollywood-style genre film-making and hard-hitting, social-realist subject matter, it was hailed as a masterpiece at Cannes in 2002 and seen by over 3 million people in Brazil, including the Brazilian cabinet. This book considers: The historical and industrial context of 'City of God'; Narrative and genre; Film language; Representation and ideology.
