In the poverty-stricken favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s, two young men choose different paths. Rocket is a budding photographer who documents the increasing drug-related violence of his neighborhood, while José “Zé” Pequeno is an ambitious drug dealer diving into a dangerous life of crime.
Şehirleşme ve şiddetin karmaşık dokusunu büyüleyici bir şekilde sunan, 'City of God' gerçekçi tasvirleri ve dinamik anlatımıyla dikkat çekiyor. Filmin estetik detayları ve sinematografik güzelliği, İstanbul'un kendi kentsel dinamikleriyle belirgin bir paralellik taşıyor. Özellikle şehrin estetik ve sosyal yapısına duyarlılığı olan bir mimar olarak, bu filmin kentsel mekânların anlatımındaki ustalığını takdir ediyorum. Aynı zamanda, film sosyal eşitsizlik ve umut gibi Evrim'in ilgilendiği temaları da işliyor.
