so you watched 'City of God', here's the only movie you need to watch in 2006 - GoFuckYourself.com

Tsotsi - watched it yesterday, can't remember when was the last time I watched such a powerful movie.

You can watch the trailer here:
http://www.tsotsimovie.com/

It gets released in the States in a week time, not so sure about Europe, but even if you can get it on DVD, do yourselves a favour and watch it ;)

Manowar · 02-16-2006, 11:03 AM

looks pretty neat

axelcat · 02-16-2006, 11:04 AM

It got great reviews

seeric · 02-16-2006, 11:05 AM

city of god was awesome. if you saw it you need to see

carandiru as well, another brasilian flick about "fei ben" (prison)

understanding portuguese helps, but there are english subtitles if you don't know it.

damn, I'l have order it from somewhere, nobody here has ever heard of City of God, ok may three or four people ;)

I'm telling you, at the end it pays off to live on the Interenet.

Pryda · 02-16-2006, 02:38 PM

City Of God is my alltime favorite movie, so I'll watch this one too

tristan_D · 02-16-2006, 05:38 PM

I love watching foreign movies like that. My favorites are Cinema Paradiso and Seven Samurai

nico-t · 02-16-2006, 05:50 PM

city of god was a pretty good flick.. will check this one out

PixeLs · 02-16-2006, 05:57 PM

If I'm not mistaken, Tsotsi is Presley Chweneyagae's first major film. I only saw the trailer but I could safely say it's one great film.

WME · 02-16-2006, 06:52 PM

gotta hurry and check that movie

Vitasoy · 02-16-2006, 07:37 PM

Cool.. and I loved City of God.

je_rome · 02-16-2006, 10:38 PM

to say that Tsotsi is a powerful movie is an understatement... here's why:

Winner 2005 Thessaloniki Film Festival
Winner 2005 Los Angeels AFI Film Festival
Winner 2005 Toronto Film Festival
Winner 2005 Edunburgh Film Festival
Nominated for the 78th Annual Academy Awards in the Foreign Language Film Directory
Nominated for a Golden Globe in the category of Best FOreign Language Film

reed_4 · 02-17-2006, 04:11 AM

I haven't seen that movie, but worth a try.

2HousePlague · 02-17-2006, 04:59 AM

lol -- k -- i will watch it, but...

"The hopes and dreams of a dead woman's past, brought to live in the aspirations of a son, who, because he was born to be different, had lived his life in agony, one man may rise from the lowest human depths, in spite of the EVIL that plagues his family name, to become, above all other heroes of the the land...

THE TSOTSI!

"

Sarah_Jayne · 02-17-2006, 05:42 AM

I'll look out for it when it hits the UK. I watched Bullet Boy today which I think was attempting to be a City Of Godish film but based in the slums of London (which are of course like a palace compared to anything in City of God). It was decent but not in the same league. Worth a watch though.

agreed..I made Peaches watch it

Took me ages to watch it because it was in the DVD player when things started to kick off with my husband so I kept putting it off but I was glad I finally watched it. A few of the same actors from City of God too.

Teodora · 02-17-2006, 05:48 AM

will watch the film if it's on

Peaches · 02-17-2006, 06:12 AM

Added to Netflix - thanks!!

Antonio · 03-06-2006, 12:39 AM

and it just won an Oscar....

Still waiting for 'Carandiru' - ordered it from Amazon right after this thread and it's almost 20 days, gee what takes so long...

Sarah_Jayne · 03-06-2006, 07:07 AM

They have run the preview in front of all the films I have seen in London for the last month. So, hopefully it will actually be out here soon.
