专辑简介
Passionate remixes of the music featured in the critically acclaimed film CITY OF GOD from the very best Brazilian electronic artists and DJs.
"City of God" is the story of the slum gangs of Rio de Janeiro. Breathtaking and terrifying, urgently involved with its characters, it announces a new director of great gifts and passions: Fernando Meirelles. The film has been compared with Scorsese's "GoodFellas," and it deserves the comparison.
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.
"City of God" does not exploit or condescend, does not pump up its stories for contrived effect, does not contain silly and reassuring romantic sidebars, but simply looks, with a passionately knowing eye, at what it knows. - Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun Times
