Product Description

 
Alejandro Gonzalez Iniarritu makes an electrifying directorial debut with AMORES PERROS, an energetic, assured motion picture that jumps off the screen with a seemingly boundless energy. Told in three separate chapters--OCTAVIO AND SUSANA, DANIEL AND VALERIA, and EL CHIVO AND MARU--the film deals with love in the lives of several individuals residing in modern day Mexico City. Octavio (Gael Garcia Bernal) has fallen in love with his brother's wife, Susana (Vanessa Bauche). He begins entering his dog in illegal dogfights in order to save up enough money to run away with her, but eventually learns a powerful lesson when she fails to keep her word. Meanwhile, Daniel (Alvaro Guerrero) has left his wife and daughters for the gorgeous model Valeria (Goya Toledo), but when she is hurt badly in a car accident, the strain on their relationship is stretched to its limits. Finally, El Chivo (Emilio Echevarria) is an ex-revolutionary who has become a paid assassin. Saddened that he has lost all contact with his daug...

Scenes From The Class Struggle In Mexico City: Amores Perros

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: Probably closer to 3 1/2 stars, but still disappointing enough to keep it under 4.
Review: "Amores Perros" begins with an abstract shot of black asphalt, violently screaming past the camera, intersected by a white road line. It is an image we will see several more times throughout the film, as we will also revisit the fateful car crash...

AMORES PERROS: Dog Eat Dog.

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: AMORES PERROS heralds the arrival of a major new director to join the ranks of Mexican Masters: Arturo Ripstein, Daniel Gruener, Carlos Carrera, Alfonso Cuaron. An unforgettable film.
Review: If we examine our lives, as AMORES PERROS examines the lives of its characters, we realize we are often closer to animals, especially our pets, than we are to our fellow workers, neighbors, families, friends, lovers -- even our children! In urban...
