Alejandro González Iñárritu charged out of the gates with this combustible debut feature, planting the flag for a new golden age of Mexican cinema. A Cannes prizewinner that made a star of Gael García Bernal, Amores Perros is a feral urban odyssey with a bite to match the ferocity of its bark.
Nominated for the Best Foreign Langage Film Academy Award, Amores Perros features three stories that converge and the characters are catapulted into dramatic and unforeseen circumstances in the wake of a terrible car crash. From Mexico City's mean streets to its posh high-rises, no one is exempt from destiny.
