Amores Perros (Copy)
A.k.a. "Love's A Bitch". Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu makes his directorial debut in an honest, raw, unapologetic look at the total human experience. Set against the violence, passion and chaos of Mexico City, "Amores Perros" is a Tarantino-esque drama that expertly intertwines three stories that collide in a fatal car crash. Animal lovers should be advised that this film does contain graphic (simulated) dogfight scenes.
