Overview

City of God is a 2011 Indian Malayalam-language crime thriller film directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery and written by Babu Janardhanan. It tells the story of Tamil migrant workers and a team of land mafia gangsters in the city of Cochin, Kerala. It stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Indrajith Sukumaran, Rajeev Pillai, Rohini, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Rima Kallingal and Swetha Menon. The film uses the hyperlink cinema format as its narrative structure, a technique first used by Satyajit Ray in his film Kanchenjungha (1962). City of God is not a remake and shares no resemblance to the 2002 Brazilian film of the same name, although both use non-linear narrative structure. The film was subsequently dubbed and released in Hindi under the same name by Wide Angle Media in 2014. City of God was one of the first among the "Malayalam New Wave" films, although the trend was just becoming recognised during 2011. Despite getting critical acclaim, the film was an average venture at the box office. Plot City of God begins with a road accident and the story traces the life of the four families who are associated with the accident. Each family has a different perspective on the city of Cochin.

Notable quotes

“Augustine, Augustine, quid quaeris? Putasne brevi immettere vasculo mare totum?”
— "Augustinus, Augustinus, what are you trying to do? Do you believe to be able to pour the whole sea in a little jar?
“At ego adulescens miser ualde, miser in exordio ipsius adulescentiae, etiam petieram a te castitatem et dixeram, 'Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo.”
— As a youth I prayed, "Give me chastity and continence, but not right now."
“Quantum in te crescit amor, tantum crescit pulchritudo; quia ipsa caritas est animae pulchritudo.”
— Beauty grows in you to the extent that love grows, because charity itself is the soul's beauty.
“Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.”
— 80:8
“Temporibus enim nostris venit imperator in urbem Romam: ibi est templum imperatoris, ibi est sepulcrum piscatoris. Itaque ille ad deprecandam a Domino salutem imperator pius atque christianus non perrexit ad templum imperatoris superbum, sed ad sepulcrum piscatoris, ubi humilis ipsum piscatorem imitaretur, ut tunc respectus aliquid impetraret a Domino, quod superbiens imperator mereri non posset.”
— In our own times, you see, an emperor came to the city of Rome, where there’s the temple of an emperor, where there’s a fisherman’s tomb. And so that pious and Christian emperor, wishing to beg for health, for salvation from the Lord, did not proceed to the temple of a proud emperor, but to the tomb of a fisherman, where he could imitate that fisherman in humility, so that he, being thus approached, might then obtain something from the Lord, which a haughty emperor would be quite unable to earn.
“Ego vero Evangelio non crederem, nisi me catholicae Ecclesiae commoveret auctoritas. (chapter 5)”
— Nicene Post-Nicene Fathers translation: "I should not believe the gospel except as moved by the authority of the Catholic Church."
