    Amores Perros (2000) Review: Three Lives, One Collision

    Amores Perros is Alejandro González Iñárritu's electrifying debut: three Mexico City stories linked by a car crash and by the dogs their characters love.

    Yes. It is one of the most exciting debuts of its era and a cornerstone of modern Mexican cinema, though its violence and length demand a strong stomach.
