I thought about Pixote while I was watching City of God and
how Fernando Ramos Da Silva the "star" of Pixote was murdered
less than 10 years after making the film and returning to his
criminal life. And while I agree with you about the content,
City of God is so unself-consciously presented that the way
the film is done is part of its power. Haven't seen the
Buenuel film yet but I just reserved it at the library.
