Synopsis

This explosive, whirlwind of a debut feature from Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu has been compared to Pulp Fiction thanks to its intertwining multiple narratives and bold, kinetic style. But where Tarantino's film was inseparable from its movie-obsessed elements and genre-based influences, Amores Perros has more gravity--combining morality tales with realistic, visceral portrayals of desperate living and broken dreams. Three separate stories, all somehow involving dogs, connect through a car crash in Mexico City. Despite some scenes of extreme violence, the film is as thoughtful as it is intense. Named Best Film at the Chicago, Tokyo and Moscow International Film Festivals , among many other honors. In Spanish with English subtitles. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu---Mexico---2000---153 mins.

I see few movies twice. Amores Perros is sufficiently complex that I enjoyed many scenes and details that I did not recall (or they blew by me) yrs ago when I first viewed. Yes, violent. Pessimistic. Wonderful sketch how the "law of the street" takes over when the "rule of law" is absent - and how close "street" is to "primal forest" (all due respect to the relatively ordered jungle). OK, one nano-sliver shy of "classic."

The violence in this film is not for everyone. That said, this is one great film.

A memorable, memorable picture. You need new terms to fully think about the human, cultural and historical realism - twisting all the artifices of technique of television and cinema but to bolder horror capturing the richness in a tripartite full of human suffering and uncontrollable irony.
