Review of Amores Perros (2000) by Grant S — 07 May 2010
Brilliant drama. Examines the lives of people living in Mexico City, and their seemingly independent lives. Makes use of non-linear time order to add to the seeming randomness. Similar to Short Cuts in former respect, and Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs in the latter.
Great script. Very gritty, confrontational and moving stories. Well directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, directing his first full-length feature film. (He later went on to direct 21 Grams, which was pretentious crap, and Babel, which was more of a return to form).
Great, natural performances from a cast which will be unknown to most audiences, but which does include Gael Garcia Bernal in one of his earliest roles.
