"If you run, the beast catches you; if you stay, the beast eats you."
- Director: Fernando Meirelles
- Genre: Drama, Action & Adventure, Art House & International,
- Studio: O2 Filmes
- Subtitled | Widescreen | Duration: 140 Mins
Overview:
Inspired by Paulo Lins's fact-based novel, this three-act chronicle of gangland rivalry on the streets of Rio de Janeiro resists the temptation to glamorise crime, as so many New York Mob movies have done. Yet director Fernando Meirelles's audacious visual style may disconcert those expecting a neorealistic approach to the story of a teenage hoodlum's rise and fall. It invites comparisons with GoodFellas, as the often explosive and meticulously designed action spans the late 1960s to the early 80s. But the no-holds-barred authenticity of the non-professional juvenile cast and Meirelles's edgy social commitment make it a wholly unique experience.
