I've got Equilibrium, No Country for Old Men, and City of Men to watch. Actually, I began watching COM, but as with City of God (2002), it became too violent. I realize that this violence is a reality. It becomes quite intense to soak in. I am hoping to make it through to the end. t.b.c.
Okay- City of Men was fascinating--yes, there are multiple guns, and much swearing (and some badly translated subtitles), but the story gives a real impression of life in a shantytown (er, hill) in Rio de Janiero.
I'd liken this to the Brazilian version of American Gangster. There's not that much money involved, but it's a matter of respect, family values, pride, legacy. Next.
