There's a memorable scene in Charlie Wilson's War where Philip Seymour Hoffman narrates a story about the Zen Master and the little boy. It's poignant not just as a commentary about Cold War geopolitics and its aftermath, but also as an observation about our lives in general. In completely unrelated news, DC Film Club will be temporarily suspending weekly movie screenings. Will it restart them, will it not? "We'll see"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2cjVhUrmII

"Run, don't walk, to the cinema is all I can say. This electrifying picture is part tender coming-of-age film and part gang-warfare epic from the Brazilian slum, or favela, told from the viewpoint of the children who manage to be both its underclass and its criminal overlords. It's a movie with all the dials cranked up to 11, an overwhelming, intoxicating assault on the senses, and a thriller so tense that you might have the red seat plush in front of you - or even some unfortunate's hair - gripped in both fists." Catch "City of God" at DC Film Club, November 7th, 7 p.m., Room # 217, Student Center.
