Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Amores Perros roughly translates to "Love's a bitch," and it's an apt summation of this remarkable film's exploration of passion, loss, and the fragility of our lives. In telling three stories connected by one traumatic incident, Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu uses an intricate screenplay by novelist Guillermo Arriaga to make three movies in close orbit, expressing the notion that we are defined by what we lose--from our loves to our family, our innocence, or even our lives. These interwoven tales--about a young man in love with his brother's pregnant wife, a perfume spokeswoman and her married lover, and a scruffy vagrant who sidelines as a paid killer--are united by a devastating car crash that provides the film's narrative nexus, and by the many dogs that the characters own or care for. There is graphic violence, prompting a disclaimer that controversial dog-fight scenes were harmless and carefully supervised, but what emerges from Amores Perros is a uniquely conceptual portrait of people whom we come to know through their relationship with dogs. The film is simultaneously bleak, cynical, insightful, and compassionate, with layers of meaning that are sure to reward multiple viewings. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars One of the best mexican mvies in recent times.......2007-05-21

What a movie! reason why Mexican cinema is moving forward at a fast pace

4 out of 5 stars Mexican version of 11:14.......2007-05-13

I enjoyed watching *Amores Perros* even though it was quite long. About almost an hour into the movie, I realized that this was a Mexican version of *11:14* If you like 11:14, then you should like this movie. The only difference was that you'll see stories leading up to the pivotal accident and afterwards. The afterwards is what carries on...like forever.

This movie is three-fold or rather three-parts and all involve a dog or more (hence the movie's title). The first part is Octavio, who is in love with his sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is in a trapped marriage with her abusive husband. Octavio offers his sister-in-law to escape with him elswhere. She's worried about the lack of money. So, Octavio bets his dog, Cofi, in dog fights.

The second story involves Daniel leaving his wife and daughters for a well-known model, Valeria. Valeria has her own little dog, Richie, that she always totes with her. Things changed when she's caught in the middle of the pivotal accident. In fact, her career is on hold. She seems to take it in good strides until Richie disappears down a hole in her new apartment.

El Chivo is a homeless man, surrounded by a pack of dogs. El Chivo is also an assassin, if paid the right price. Not only that but he also spies on his estranged daughter, whom she believes her father is dead.

So, like I said, good movie...just a little too long. My favorite part is the first part involving Octavio and his sister-in-law. I looked forward to their story.

Beware, that this DVD does not have English audio track despite its Amazon description. This is an outstanding movie, but Amazon has wrong data and issued a full refund for me.

5 out of 5 stars one of the best movies of recent times.......2007-02-21

This great raw movie introduced the world to a major new talent - the director innarutu... His unmistakeable style is felt frame by frame - and has delighted audiences in his equally searing features 21 grams and most recently babel.. But it is this dog eat dog world film 'amorres perros'
that will be remembered years from now.. The films central metaphor - the dog - is is tied with love -love is indeed a biyatch (sorry for the cheap comic use of the word).. and is used in a way a metaphor should be used in film - it is direct yet underplayed (if that makes any sense).. this is a harsh and real movie.. it forces you into its world from the very first shot very direct and very relevant for our times..

4 out of 5 stars great foreign film.......2007-02-06

This is an awesome movie, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the length of the film - its quite long.

        Product Description

        Like cinematic dynamite, City of God lights a fuse under its squalid Brazilian ghetto, and we're a captive audience to its violent explosion. The titular favela is home to a seething army of impoverished children who grow, over the film's ambitious 20-year time frame, into cut-throat killers, drug lords and feral survivors. In the vortex of this maelstrom is L'il Z (Leandro Firmino da Hora--like most of the cast, a non-professional actor), self-appointed king of the dealers, determined to eliminate all competition at the expense of his corrupted soul. With enough visual vitality and provocative substance to spark heated debate (and box-office gold) in Brazil, codirectors Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund tackle their subject head on, creating a portrait of youthful anarchy so appalling--and so authentically immediate--that City of God prompted reforms in socioeconomic policy. It's a bracing feat of stylistic audacity, borrowing from a dozen other films to form its own unique identity. You'll flinch, but you can't look away.

          Product Description

          Julio and Tenoch are typical over-sexed and under-occupied teenagers. During a festive afternoon with their families they meet Luisa, a twenty year old Spaniard, and flirt with her all the style and grace seventeen year old boys are known for. As a joke, they invite her to accompany them on a road trip to a beach called Boca del Cielo ("Heaven's Mouth), neglecting to mention that they wouldn't know where to find it, even if it did actually exist. To their astonishment, she accepts. Y Tu Mama Tamblien received outstanding critical acclaim on its release. Hailed as one of the comedies of the year, it's a steamy, sexy and sun-drenched sensation of a movie that's rude, playful and raucously funny.

          Amores Perros roughly translates to "Love's a bitch," and it's an apt summation of this remarkable film's exploration of passion, loss, and the fragility of our lives. In telling three stories connected by one traumatic incident, Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu uses an intricate screenplay by novelist Guillermo Arriaga to make three movies in close orbit, expressing the notion that we are defined by what we lose--from our loves to our family, our innocence, or even our lives. These interwoven tales--about a young man in love with his brother's pregnant wife, a perfume spokeswoman and her married lover, and a scruffy vagrant who sidelines as a paid killer--are united by a devastating car crash that provides the film's narrative nexus, and by the many dogs that the characters own or care for. There is graphic violence, prompting a disclaimer that controversial dog-fight scenes were harmless and carefully supervised, but what emerges from Amores Perros is a uniquely conceptual portrait of people whom we come to know through their relationship with dogs. The film is simultaneously bleak, cynical, insightful, and compassionate, with layers of meaning that are sure to reward multiple viewings. --Jeff Shannon

          I enjoyed watching *Amores Perros* even though it was quite long. About almost an hour into the movie, I realized that this was a Mexican version of *11:14* If you like 11:14, then you should like this movie. The only difference was that you'll see stories leading up to the pivotal accident and afterwards. The afterwards is what carries on...like forever.

          This movie is three-fold or rather three-parts and all involve a dog or more (hence the movie's title). The first part is Octavio, who is in love with his sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is in a trapped marriage with her abusive husband. Octavio offers his sister-in-law to escape with him elswhere. She's worried about the lack of money. So, Octavio bets his dog, Cofi, in dog fights.

          The second story involves Daniel leaving his wife and daughters for a well-known model, Valeria. Valeria has her own little dog, Richie, that she always totes with her. Things changed when she's caught in the middle of the pivotal accident. In fact, her career is on hold. She seems to take it in good strides until Richie disappears down a hole in her new apartment.

          El Chivo is a homeless man, surrounded by a pack of dogs. El Chivo is also an assassin, if paid the right price. Not only that but he also spies on his estranged daughter, whom she believes her father is dead.

          So, like I said, good movie...just a little too long. My favorite part is the first part involving Octavio and his sister-in-law. I looked forward to their story.

          Beware, that this DVD does not have English audio track despite its Amazon description. This is an outstanding movie, but Amazon has wrong data and issued a full refund for me.

          5 out of 5 stars one of the best movies of recent times.......2007-02-21

          This great raw movie introduced the world to a major new talent - the director innarutu... His unmistakeable style is felt frame by frame - and has delighted audiences in his equally searing features 21 grams and most recently babel.. But it is this dog eat dog world film 'amorres perros'
          that will be remembered years from now.. The films central metaphor - the dog - is is tied with love -love is indeed a biyatch (sorry for the cheap comic use of the word).. and is used in a way a metaphor should be used in film - it is direct yet underplayed (if that makes any sense).. this is a harsh and real movie.. it forces you into its world from the very first shot very direct and very relevant for our times..

          4 out of 5 stars great foreign film.......2007-02-06

          This is an awesome movie, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the length of the film - its quite long.

          Amores Perros roughly translates to "Love's a bitch," and it's an apt summation of this remarkable film's exploration of passion, loss, and the fragility of our lives. In telling three stories connected by one traumatic incident, Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu uses an intricate screenplay by novelist Guillermo Arriaga to make three movies in close orbit, expressing the notion that we are defined by what we lose--from our loves to our family, our innocence, or even our lives. These interwoven tales--about a young man in love with his brother's pregnant wife, a perfume spokeswoman and her married lover, and a scruffy vagrant who sidelines as a paid killer--are united by a devastating car crash that provides the film's narrative nexus, and by the many dogs that the characters own or care for. There is graphic violence, prompting a disclaimer that controversial dog-fight scenes were harmless and carefully supervised, but what emerges from Amores Perros is a uniquely conceptual portrait of people whom we come to know through their relationship with dogs. The film is simultaneously bleak, cynical, insightful, and compassionate, with layers of meaning that are sure to reward multiple viewings. --Jeff Shannon

          What a movie! reason why Mexican cinema is moving forward at a fast pace

          4 out of 5 stars Mexican version of 11:14.......2007-05-13

          I enjoyed watching *Amores Perros* even though it was quite long. About almost an hour into the movie, I realized that this was a Mexican version of *11:14* If you like 11:14, then you should like this movie. The only difference was that you'll see stories leading up to the pivotal accident and afterwards. The afterwards is what carries on...like forever.

          This movie is three-fold or rather three-parts and all involve a dog or more (hence the movie's title). The first part is Octavio, who is in love with his sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is in a trapped marriage with her abusive husband. Octavio offers his sister-in-law to escape with him elswhere. She's worried about the lack of money. So, Octavio bets his dog, Cofi, in dog fights.

          The second story involves Daniel leaving his wife and daughters for a well-known model, Valeria. Valeria has her own little dog, Richie, that she always totes with her. Things changed when she's caught in the middle of the pivotal accident. In fact, her career is on hold. She seems to take it in good strides until Richie disappears down a hole in her new apartment.

          El Chivo is a homeless man, surrounded by a pack of dogs. El Chivo is also an assassin, if paid the right price. Not only that but he also spies on his estranged daughter, whom she believes her father is dead.
