From Rio, 40 Degrees to City of God

This book is the result of research into Memory and Brazilian Cinema and their relationship with the city of Rio de Janeiro. It revisits feature films that, between the 1950s and 2000s, had the city as their theme: its landscapes, streets, buildings, as well as characters that represent the carioca way of life. The result is a descriptive catalog of the films chosen, proving the cinematic potential of the Marvelous City, whether as a setting or even as the main character.
