Sending shock waves through the Mexican film industry and the world, the blistering Amores Perros, the 2000 feature debut from Alejandro González Iñárritu, brought the director’s electrifying visual style and bravura multi-strand storytelling to the screen with the heart-stopping impact of a primal scream.

In Mexico City, the lives of three strangers—a young man (Gael García Bernal, Casa de mi Padre) mixed up in the gritty underworld of dogfighting, a glamorous woman (Goya Toledo) who seems to have it all, and a mysterious assassin (Emilio Echevarría) who is desperate to reconnect with his estranged daughter—collide in a tragic twist of fate that forever alters their personal journeys.
A tour de force of violence and emotion captured in a rush of kinetic handheld camera work, Amores Perros is an unforgettable plunge into a world of brutality and aching, interconnected humanity.
