Amores Perros (2000)is an excellent movie out of Mexico. Taking place in a vast and gritty Mexico City, it takes three separate stories, but provides points of intersections for all three.
Translated to "Love's a Bitch," the title indicated truly that the storylines will not have a Hollywood happy ending, and they do not. But each story is compelling, and the way they are layered over each other only deepens the whole movie.
Great performances by all the leads, Amores Perros is dark and often brutal. But it is not trying to be anything else. The title tells us that, and the movie lives up to the title completely.
