    If you watch one foreign film in your life ever, please make it this one.

    Set in the slums of Rio de Janiero, the film follows the life of the denizens of “The City of God” a housing project outside Rio, where all the poor were basicaly dumped. (Think of Milton Keynes without roundabouts.)

    It takes the protagonists from childhood to their various fates, some grizzly some not so.

    Although it is in Portuguese it’s really easy to follow and it’s the best gangster film ever. The action is non-stop, and you can see how cheap urban life is in Brazil.

    Truly awesome filmmaking.

    In one of the dvd extras the director goes on to explain how Neon tried to bum him as bent over to pick up a roll of gaffer tape. Proving once and for all Neon is the Gheyest of the Ghey.

    Wait a minute…

    I’ve got that DVD, and there’s no bumming stories (Although some of you fans of homoeroticism probably won’t bother watching it now)!

    And in response to Cowboy:

    No, you’re the Gheyest of the Ghey!

    there’s also the excellent mini series City of Men which is a spin off, but well worth watching.

    Neon, I’m sure you won’t mind me quoting Hamlet.

    “Alas poor Yorrick, I knew him Horatio, till that big bender Neon ruptured his colon bumming him. He truly art thee gheyest of all gheydom.”
