LOVE ?

A wild car chase ends in a violent accident that throws off three stories along with the flying wreckage.

The stories are about all kinds of love: brotherly, fatherly, profane, love between man and dog and that is only a partial list.

Amores Perros / Love Is A Bitch (2000) is a wild, violent and sometimes hard to watch car chase in and of itself. It is generously rich in story, visuals, and pacing.

There were times that I didn't want to watch and did anyway and I am glad I did. It is 150 minutes long and I am the one who wants movies to go back to the old 90 minute format. This one held me despite my usual antsiness.

Gael Garcia Bernal is in one of the intertwined stories and that made it all the more worth while.

Read the Ebert link. It is pretty good.

So is the film. I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.
