Raw, and hard to watch - problem that doesn't arise when it comes to humans fighting -, the editing behind those sequences is spectacular, since dogs were actually just playing. In addition to the dogs, and the city, the other figure that stands out is that of El Chivo, present in all the stories, that seems to try merge the two worlds, that, however, can me united only be the love for dogs, and the sense of abandonment.īesides from the superb writing, direction and narrative structure that everyone seems to mention, I'd like to point out the outstanding soundtrack, a dramatic mix of Hispanic rock-rap tracks. Mexico City, imprinted in the harrowing photography by Rodrigo Prieto, causes a collision between the rich and easy lives of Daniel and Valeria and those drifted of Octavio, Ramiro, and Susana, right on the day everyone believes happiness is within reach, thus changing the course of their lives forever. And lastly, stray and wandering as their owner in search for redemption, author of a spectacular final monologue. Naive and helpless as the model of the second story, a beautiful metaphor of today's woman, grew up in a society that consider her an object. Furious as the protagonists of the first story that pulls their animals into fights, and are not able to respect life in all its forms. El Chivo ( Emilio Echevarría) is a homeless man who cares for stray dogs and is there to witness the collision.ĭebut feature of a young Mexican director who turned out to be a superb filmmaker, Amores perros is a pure, violent, angry, bitter yet poetic and sensual picture of human life.Ĭentral figure of the film, as the title suggests, is that of the dog, that in each of the three stories perfectly represents its protagonists. Daniel ( Álvaro Guerrero) and Valeria's ( Goya Toledo) newfound bliss is prematurely ended when she loses her leg in the accident.
