Fernando Meirelles

Brazilian film director known internationally for City Of God (2002) and The Constant Gardener (2005).

Known for immersive social-realism (City Of God) and for tackling political/ethical issues (The Constant Gardener). Cesar Charlone was cinematographer on City Of God (credited in reviews).

The reviews praise Meirelles for immersive social realism (notably City Of God) and for handling complex political themes (The Constant Gardener). Critics highlight strong performances, vivid cinematography and ethical/political concerns. Overall reception in these reviews is highly favorable.

For:Cinephiles, students of film and social studies, viewers interested in political thrillers and social-realism cinema.

 Probably the best feature film ever to come to us from the country of samba, "The City of God" is more than a film and more than a documentary: it is a carbon copy of the real situation in the favelas.
