This is Cofi, the beloved fighting animal of Octavio ( Gael Garcia Bernal), a poor young man who is helplessly in love with Susana ( Vanessa Bauche), the teenage bride of his ominous brother Ramiro (Marco Perez). The images are so quick and confused, at first we don't realize the bleeding body in the back seat belongs to a dog. "Octavio and Susana," the first segment, begins with cars hurtling through city streets in a chase and gunfight. That notice usually appears at the ends of films, but putting it first in "Amores Perros" is wise, since the first sequence involves dog fights and all three will be painful for soft-hearted animal lovers to sit through. The film opens with a disclaimer promising that no animals were harmed in the making of the film. In Mexico City, the lives of three strangers-a young man (Gael García Bernal) 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.Ī 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.The title, loosely translated in English, is "Love's a Bitch," and all three of his stories involve dogs who become as important as the human characters. Iñárritu brought the director’s electrifying visual style and bravura multistrand storytelling to the screen with the heart-stopping impact of a primal scream. Sending shock waves through the Mexican film industry and the world, this blistering feature debut from Alejandro G. Language: Spanish (with English subtitles) Cast Emilio Echevarría, Gael García Bernal, Goya Toledo
