Amores Perros is a 2000 Mexican film directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, weaving together three separate stories of love and loss in Mexico City that intersect around a single car crash. The film's nonlinear, interlocking structure and its raw, unpolished visual style departed sharply from the more polished conventions of earlier Mexican commercial cinema. Amores Perros brought international critical attention to a new generation of Mexican filmmakers and helped launch the international careers of both Inarritu and lead actor Gael Garcia Bernal.
