Not until the third part do the characters' connections become apparent and their fates intertwined. The second part is so radically different you'd swear it was made by another director. Its characters are desperate, working class and indelibly tied to their setting, Mexico City.
The first part, with its cramped, intense lives and explosions of violence, reminded me of Mean Streets. It thoroughly justifies its 154-minute running time with three interlinked stories that grab you like the rottweiler owned by the first section's young tearaway, and won't let go.
One of the year's outstanding releases without a doubt, Amores Perros is intriguing, satisfying, moving and unpredictable.
