Amores Perros
Dir: Alejandro González Iñárritu
Mexico, 2000, Spanish, 154mins, DCP
Cast: Gael García Bernal, Emilio Echevarría, Goya Toledo
A high-speed car crash on the streets of Mexico City sends the lives of three total strangers colliding into one another: Octavio, a young hoodlum in love with his brother’s wife; supermodel Valeria, who is having an affair with a publisher; and homeless hitman El Chivo, looking to reconnect with his estranged daughter. The debut feature film from Academy Award-winning director Iñárritu put both himself and leading man Gael García Bernal on the international map, and is hailed as a masterpiece of New Mexican Cinema. Its intertwining narratives, a signature of writer Guillermo Arriaga, paint a bleak yet intoxicating portrait of the Latin American metropolis, where life is cheap, love is a bitch, and loyalty is left to our four-legged companions.
