Because the director has brought his monsters and their world to teeming life, City of God conquers your scruples and stokes...

...ambitious to rise within his powerful if sclerotic organization--mostly because he wants to get its blood flowing. His only problem is that the bureaucracy to which he has committed his life is Mexico's Roman Catholic Church, and Padre Amaro (Gael Garcia Bernal, most recently in Y Tu Mama Tambien) is a priest whose largest doctrinal doubts center on celibacy...
