Synopsis
Forbidden City (Cidade Proibida, 2017) is a Brazilian noir crime series available to watch online on iFILM. Directed by Maurício Farias, with Vladimir Brichta, Regiane Alves and Giovanna Antonelli.
Zozim spent his years on the police force and now runs a private practice handling infidelity cases — low stakes, predictable work. Until one job pulls him into something much larger: layered betrayals, dangerous connections, and people who'd rather see him drop the case permanently. Farias built the series around American pulp fiction and hard-boiled cinema from the 1930s and 1940s, transplanting the formula into a distinctly Brazilian setting.
The result wears its influences openly and makes them feel at home in the tropics. Watch Forbidden City (2017) online on iFILM.
