Alejandro González Iñárritu’s vivid, immediate first film caught everyone’s attention. A car crash affects the lives of three people, a young man who wants to save his sister-in-law from his abusive brother, a supermodel who has to recover from the accident, and a hitman who wants to find his estranged daughter. “[The] sense that even hair-trigger lives, always poised on the edge of self-destructive lunacy, deserve to be sympathetically understood is Amores Perros’ redeeming grace” –Richard Schnickel, Time.
