I think that the film is in fact intended to discomfit the viewer, and does the job very effectively.
AMORES PERROS DVD MOVIE
On the other hand, it was undeniably a movie that affected me and that won't easily be forgotten. On the one hand, I can't say that Amores Perros was exactly an entertaining experience.
All the stories deal in some way with love and what happens when it is denied or twisted. There's the story of Octavio and Susana, trapped in a life of poverty and crime Daniel and Valeria, monetarily richer but caught up in the chains of a failing relationship and "El Chivo" and Maru, in which an old hit man re-examines who he is and what he does. The different stories lead up to and away from this central incident, with major characters overlapping in each others' stories, somewhat like Magnolia. The film is made up of three separate sections, each centering in some way around in a car accident caused by two young hoodlums in over their heads with a dogfighting ring. It's also a strangely compelling and memorable film. I'd have to classify it as probably the most relentlessly downbeat movie I've seen in ages. 24, 2001)Īmores Perros isn't a movie to watch when you're feeling depressed.
