“Iñárritu has conjured up a dark, brutal vision of urban life that sticks to your skin like soot.” —David Ansen, Newsweek
After 25 years, the legendary debut from Academy Award®-winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Birdman, The Revenant) returns to the big screen in a stunning restoration. A visceral reflection on human chaos, cruelty, and tenderness, Amores Perros remains as bold and affecting as ever.
As three lives from disparate parts of Mexico City converge in a fatal car crash, their fractured stories unfold – revealing they are more connected than they seem.
Teenaged Octavio (Gael García Bernal) decides to run away with his brother’s wife. Desperate for cash, he ventures into the urban underworld, sending their love triangle into an irreversible spiral.
Beautiful model Valeria (Goya Toledo) moves in with a lover who left his family to be with her. But the collision brings her life and career to a sudden halt, taking away what is most important to her.
El Chivo (Emilio Echeverría) quietly exists as a homeless man in the shadows, masking his occupation as a hitman. While in pursuit of a target, he witnesses the wreck and is entangled in the aftermath.
Shot through with Rodrigo Prieto’s dynamic cinematography and Gustavo Santaolalla’s iconic score, Amoros Perros is a true masterwork – both a seminal, expressive portrait of Mexico City and a universal exploration of violence, love, and loss. 2000, Mexico, 4K DCP, in Spanish with English subtitles, 154 minutes. Rated R.
