I saw this film when it was originally released ten years ago and recently had an opportunity to see it again. I rarely revisit films but made an exception for this one as it was (and still is) one of my favorite films.
It's raw, it's engaging, and it's cinematic art.
Set in Mexico City it centers on three separate stories that by chance bring everyone together in one horrific car crash that opens the movie.
The title translates to "Love's a Bitch" and though violent and gritty, this film does address love in all of its many forms. Dogs frequent the film and you can usually tell the type of person someone is by how they treat their dog.
Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and written by Guillermo Arriago; this is the film that brought this talented pair to the attention of the rest of the world.
This duo later collaborated on 21 Grams and Babel.
