Description
"Amores Perros" starts at full throttle with a momentous car crash. Two young men--with a severely injured Rottweiler--cause the crash trying to outrun a group of heavily armed thugs. One person is killed, another maimed, and the dog is left on the roadside to be rescued by a homeless man. From the accident, the film moves variously backward and forward in time through several stories about love and betrayal, about the ease with which people commit acts of violence, and the difficulty they face in finding redemption. The film is a feverish tour through Mexico City high and low, full of the heartbreak found in corridas, where people find themselves trapped in the undertow of Fate.
