I What’s amazing about “City of God” isn’t the brutality or the world that Meirelles is so success- ful at creating, but the subtlety with which he han— dles all these situations. It’s violent, but never so graphically violent that it would disturb viewers. Meirelles chooses instead to hint at the nature ofthe violence and portray the nightmare with his shaky cameras and rich, moody soundtrack. It all adds up to a gangster picture that can hold its weight against even the best gangster pictures. It’s not, by any stretch of the imagination, the kind of happy tale that people are used to wanting; in— stead, it shows the grim side of life that most peo~ ple want to ignore. Films like “City ofGod,” however, are hard not to praise and impossible to ignore.
