In the end, even though all the weary characters, men and beasts, wish for a bright future, in this life-changing journey in the pursuit of love, sometimes infidelity, sin and death can get in the way. Lastly, Chivo, an ex-guerrilla vagabond, after abandoning his little daughter, unable to make up for lost time, he channels his love to the city's strays and a mortally wounded Rottweiler. And then unexpectedly, Valeria, a stunning woman and famous supermodel, will cross paths with Octavio, while in the meantime, her pampered little dog Richie manages to vanish into thin air in the confined space of her apartment. Octavio, a rebellious adolescent who is secretly in love with his sister-in-law, dreams of escaping his miserable life, and for this reason, he enters reluctantly the obscure world of dog fighting with his lethal dog Cofi. Relish again how the high velocity of the opening installment yields to the slow, steady vise of the second, before everything converges-story, rhythm, stakes, and social messaging-in the haunting third.Mexican horrible naturalistic compelling persistent On the brink of the new Millennium in the bustling City of Mexico, one horrible car accident intertwines inextricably the lives of three perfect strangers. Amores perros in many ways marked the arrival of this seismic movement, but even without that context, the movie is a bracing experience.
Opening channels for private investment, developing scripts without state oversight, and opening new theaters across the country paid off almost immediately, depicting Mexico in ways modern citizens recognized, debated, and paid to see repeatedly. After spending the 1990s on virtual life support, this previously state-controlled industry was desperate to nurture new artists in all crafts, who in turn might issue stylistic and political challenges to the cinema they’d inherited-hopefully reenergizing audiences at home and abroad.
This sudden efflorescence was due in part to huge changes in Mexico’s film economy. Indeed, this intense triptych of three differently tragic plotlines, united by one bloody car crash in the heart of Mexico City, introduced an armada of new talents who have had prodigious impacts on 21st-century cinema: director and co-editor Alejandro González Iñárritu ( Babel, Birdman), cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto ( Frida, The Irishman), screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga ( The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada), composer Gustavo Santaolalla ( Brokeback Mountain, The Motorcycle Diaries), and actor Gael García Bernal ( Y tu mamá también, Bad Education).
Arriving at the dawn of the millennium, Amores perros (2000) remains one of the most audacious and accomplished debut features of our tumultuous century.
