Cidade de Deus

I just finished watching City of God and was blown away by the picture. I had in passing heard some good things about it, and had it in my Netflix queue for a while. It is a very stark look at violence and drugs in Brazil during the 70's. The characters and the sense of time and place are astounding. It makes me wonder just how close to the real story it comes to portraying.
