“Amores Perros,” combines three tales of morality with realistic, visceral portrayals of desperate living and broken dreams. This film has been compared to Pulp Fiction’s genius ability to intertwine multiple narratives and its use of bold kinetic styles. “Amores Perros” was named Best Film at the Chicago, Tokyo and Moscow International Film Festivals.
