Title: City of God DVD fluke?
Post by: Gold Trumpet on May 17, 2004, 11:59:18 AM
I bought the official dvd for this yesterday at a Sam Goody. I thought the release date was June 8th and I checked the major online retailers (including samgoody.com) and they say June 8th still. How the hell did I luck out?

Other than that, the extra is a making of documentary and I'll see how it looks tonight when I watch it.

Check the back. Does it only credit the chick with directing? If so, it's one of a few copies that got out early (like months ago early). If not, I dunno, good eye...

lots of times stores at the mall will put something out by mistake, (sometimes because their employees are young), sometimes because its an old movies re-release they dont realize hasnt come out yet and sometimes because its a foriegn movie they've never heard of from 2 years ago.

Katia Lund is credited with co-direction. Fernando Meirelles direction. Luck I think is on my part.
