54. City of God (2002)

(A Ben and Fiona episode - prepare for an Irish potty mouth and bullshit trivia)

Are you a Tight Arse?

I do like to be by the seaside! FilmFloggers goes international and enters the realm of foreign cinema!

An ignorant bigot when it usually comes to Foreign films, Fiona's eyes were like sauces throughout this absorbing frenetic seedy masterclass in raw filmmaking and world-building. Fiona was so engrossed she even bothered to read the subtitles! Next step...Martyrs.

Can someone please tell Tiago to slap some factor 50 on pronto! Redheads and Rio's blazing heat would surely not mix well? I look forward to finding out someday!

We follow our narrator and chief protagonist Rocket on his struggles to tiptoe around the violence, the drugs, the guns, and the general unpleasantness on offer in the 'City of God'.

Although much like Rocket, you'll find the biggest heart-in-your-mouth moments are watching his largely futile attempts to find someone, anyone who will allow him to unsheath his 'little Rocket' That whole beast tagline makes a lot more sense now.

Quoted as being based on a True Story, but the burning question is, how far does this stretch? Is the incident with the banana true to life? Listen to find out!
