	Amores Perros: Cinephiles Movie Review
		An internationally awarded film, Amores Perros successfully integrates the elements of sound, editing, camera movement and character development, and creates innovative narrative techniques which address some of the most profoundly human conflicts that inhabit the largest and most populated city in the world.
		Amores Perros takes the viewer to the streets of Mexico City and presents three sets of characters whose stories collide in a life-changing event: a terrible automobile accident, shot from three distinct angles and edited according to the characters' corresponding story and point of view.
		While Amores Perros takes off with a wild persecution scene that ends in the crash, the narration subtly transitions to flashback sequences that focus on the main characters, prior to their fate's dramatic turn.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Amores Perros"
		So let me assure you that "Amores Perros" is too long by 10 or 15 minutes and that one of its three interlinked tales of street life in Mexico City works much less well than the other two.
		"Amores Perros" begins as if it's on drugs, in an oversaturated color panic, with two guys and their severely injured Rottweiler (the aforementioned Cofi) in a Mercury Grand Marquis, trying to outrun a group of heavily armed thugs in a hair-raising high-speed chase.
		From the accident, "Amores Perros" 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.

	Amores Perros review
		Amores Perros is about relationships: whether between people and dogs, lovers, brothers, family members, economic or political.
		And this large modern apartment is actually filled with rats under the floorboards, attesting to a certain deterioration of the so-called "upper" class.
		Amores Perros is about living with decisions made despite what fate has in store, and finding absurd humor in even the flest of moments.

	BBC - BBC Four Cinema - Amores Perros
		On its release in 2001 critics were as quick to dub Amores Perros "the Mexican Pulp Fiction" as they were to name last year's City of God "the Brazilian GoodFellas".
		His agile camerawork, masterly control of tone and unflinching eye for irony make Amores Perros one of the more eminent debuts of the decade.
		High among his achievements is a consistently impressive use of sound, from the ominous rumblings of the title sequence to the mighty "thud" of an unexpected head butt, the pregnant suggestions of a ringing phone and the troubling scrabbling of the unfortunate Richie.

		According to director Alejandro Conzales Inarritu it is. Amores Perros may not be a film that is on everyone’s mind, and indeed many may not have even heard about it, yet it is one of the best films I have seen this year and well worth watching.

		cripted by Guillermo Arriaga Jo rdan, and set against a backdrop of the urban horrors of Mexico City, Amores Perros, the debut from 37-year-old Mexican Alejandro González Iñárritu, is a movie with big thematic ambitions, built around the tragic impact that a car crash in Mexico has on the lives it touches.
		The director describes Amores as "a film made not with the heart, but with the guts, about how we all are and, equally, what we have lost." It is thus

	Metroactive Movies \| 'Amores Perros'
		In spite of disclaimers from the film's American distributor that state no animals were harmed during filming, critics and moviegoers have trashed Amores Perros for the dogfights and dismissed the film as sensationalistic without even considering its merits (Iñárritu's mature perspective on violence, for one thing).
		These scenes are necessary to underscore the themes of the ramifications of violence and the cruelty and ugliness of life in a corrupt, polluted and overpopulated metropolis like Mexico City.
		Amores Perros (R; 150 min.), directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, written by Guillermo Arriaga Jordan, photographed by Rodrigo Prieto and starring Emilio Echevarría, Gael García Bernal and Álvaro Guerrero, opens Friday at the Park Theater in Menlo Park, at Camera 3 in San Jose and at selected theaters valleywide.

	Amores Perros (2001): Reviews
		There's a seething moral core in Amores Perros that uses the canine savagery as an entre to human brutality.
		Amores Perros will be too much for some filmgoers, just as "Pulp Fiction" was and "Santa Sangre" certainly was, but it contains the spark of inspiration.
		Still, those caveats out of the way, Amores Perros is a brutal, mesmerising masterpiece from a filmaker (and screenwriter) who, if there is the remotest amount of justice in this god-forsaken world, will be bigger than curly fries by the end of the decade.

		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.
		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.
		The episodic structure of Amores Perros could have been damaging to the film had it not been for the inspired way the stories overlap only so much as to not exasperate the audience.

		Amores Perros roughly translates to both 'dog's love' and 'love's a bitch.' Both figure prominently in the three interwoven stories within the movie.
		The jumping around, violence, and three stories immediately bring to mind Pulp Fiction, but there are deeper differences that help establish this as an original film and not rip-off.

	Amores Perros (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Amores Perros is a Mexican movie, and the title roughly translated, means 'Love is a bitch'.
		To be very honest, I found little justification for the title other than the fact that one of the subplots revolves around dogfights and the movie efficiently captures the dark gist of the Mexican street life (a completely different but analogous perspective from Salaam Bombay immediately comes to mind).
		By far, Amores Perros is a definite work of cinematic genius.

		Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's striking Amores Perros is the film Pulp Fiction might have been if Quentin Tarantino were as interested in people as movies.
		A car crash in Mexico City entwines three stories: in one car is Octavio, who has been entering his dog in fights to get enough money run off with his sister-in-law Susana; in the other car is Valeria, a supermodel who's just moved in with her lover Daniel, who has left his wife for her.
		Amores Perros opens with chaos, as Octavio and a friend drive away from the latest dogfight with the injured canine on the back seat and enemies in hot pursuit, then hops back, forward and sideways in time.

	México: Amores perros
		Indeed, it is precisely in the juxtaposition of these two sequences, in the cinematic gaze which dares to think them together and to relate them, that the radical nature of Amores perros lies.
		For those of you who haven't seen it, the plot of Amores perros is the intersection of three different human stories and tragedies on the streets of Mexico City, all of them linked only by the devastating car crash we saw there.
		Like all of these films, Amores perros poses questions about visibility and invisibility, and in particular about visibility and invisibility as simulation and dissimulation.

		Octavio (Gael García Bernal), who loves his brutal brother’s wife, Susana (Vanessa Bauche), discovers that the docile family pet is a natural warrior in the illicit, deadly sport of dogfighting (these sequences are gut-wrenchingly intense).
		Amores Perros fuses a contemporary political conscience with an older, more ingrained sense of fatalism.
		Amores Perros is the result of a truly cinematic imagination, one which uses external actions to reveal the hidden lives of characters who intimately understand Charles Bukowski’s edict: Love is a dog from hell.

	AMORES PERROS
		Mexico hasn't exactly been a hotbed of successful independent film over the last decade, but if every movie they produce in the next ten years is only half as good as Amores Perros, Steven Soderbergh had better start brushing up on his Spanish.
		Each of the tales would be interesting enough on their own, but cobbled together as uniquely as they are, the film become a devastating story about fate and relationships.
		Amores would have been an amazing enough film, but learning it's Alejandro González Iñárritu's directorial debut is a little like getting the wind knocked out of you.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Amores Perros" review (2001)
		First-time director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu diplays an impressive range of moods in "Amores Perros."
		The film opens in the middle of a kinetic, pulse-quickening, panic-driven car chase/gunfight through the congested streets of Mexico City.
		Shot in sharply colorful, digi-gritty digital video and so nimbly edited that even when a character disappears for 20 minutes the audience never loses track of him, "Amores Perros" successfully navigates overlaping and intersecting volumes of engrossing story without a slip.

	OFFOFFOFF film review AMORES PERROS Mexican movie by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu with Emilio Echevarria, Gael Garcia ...
		Gonzalez Inarritu has taken an original story by Guillermo Arriaga and fashioned it into a tale that is gritty, complex, and brimming with edgy performances (Gael García Bernal as Octavio is especially good as is El Chivo's Emilio Echevarria).
		For all of its Tarrantino-esque violence — smashes, crashes, shootings, and stabbings (and, of course, violence towards dogs; not that Tarrantino went there) — "Amores Perros" emerges as a crackerjack, fast-moving film with a surprising underlying humanity: these men do what they do for love and for no other reason.
		You might question (and even balk at) their methods but, as unsettling as the film is, you cannot deny the purity of their motives.

		El Chivo saves Octavio's dog from the car crash and adopts him, much to his dismay, given the animal's bloodthirsty behavior.
		Commenting on Amores Perros, director Alejandro González Iñárritu makes reference to the Biblical themes in the three-part drama.
		Humankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude toward those who are at its mercy: animals." In Amores Perros, all of the characters except El Chivo fail this moral test and pay the consequences.

		Sometimes there's a clear reason for dividing a film into distinctive chapters, each following the distinctive but overlapping stories of unrelated people.
