Can Someone tell me...


This film sounds incredibly grim and depressing, and having seen City Of God which was excellent albeit extremely unpleasant, i'm just curious as to how this film measures in violence and illicit/depraved imagery.

This film is more disturbing than 'City of God'.

Hello Mr. Booth. "Pixote" is the more serious film, making "City of God" look overdone and flashy by comparison. The violence doesn't consist of flashy shootouts and spraying blood. It is more real, and violence against kids is always ugly and unpleasant. The film is also slow, and very long, and is quite difficult to watch, considering it's relentlessly dark themes.

This makes City of God look like a Disney film or something. It's quite rough, and though I prefer City of God, this is a more serious, real and brutal film. Almost like a documentary.
