City of Men Screening

Posted on July 3, 2008 by Mike

As I mentioned in a couple of places yesterday I’m organising a City of Men screening with Dan. We have around 25 seats and it’ll be next Thursday in Soho. 6pm for a 6.30 start. Probably free drinks for those that get there early and we’ll certainly be retiring to a pub afterwards.

I haven’t seen the film myself yet, but it’s based on the TV series of the same name which was a follow up to City of God. Here’s the Wikipedia synopsis:

Best friends Acerola and Laranjinha live in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, and have been raised without their fathers. They are turning eighteen as a war between rival drug gangs begins around them. Each discovers things about his missing father that will compromise their solid friendship.

If you fancy it then drop me an email: mikesizemore @ gmail . com.

I’ll also have more details tomorrow if you swing by the The Tuttle Club.

Oh and we’re hoping this will be the first of many. Been a while since I did the Sarah Marshall and Juno screenings so want to make these semi regular if possible…

I love City of God, its an amazing film.

Furthermore the opening scene with the hectic chicken running under the car is the second best animal performance I have ever seen. (after the the Godfather’s Cat pt,1).
