Unsung Gems! Round 3! We just can't get enough! This week we're are kicking off our newest Unsung Gems with an amazing Brazilian gem, "City of God". In the slums of Rio, two kids' paths diverge as one struggles to become a photographer and the other a kingpin. "City of God" (or "Cidade de Deus") is a gripping movie and we hope you all check it out!
We were lucky to be joined by Adam St. John, the fantastic host behind the "Below Freezing" and "Rewind 25 52" podcasts. We chatted about why the scariest person in this movie is a child, what scenes we'd use for our Elevator Pitch, and hand out of Apollonia Awards.
Join us as we head to the Adam Driver Drive-In for our wide range of Double Features. We also select our "Foreign Language Film Rushmore Mountain", and talk about the benefits of using real people and amateur actors in your movies.
