Considered by many as one of the best Mexican films of all time, Amores Perros is a visceral, emotional look at the intertwined lives of three perfect strangers in Mexico City — a supermodel, a rebellious adolescent, and an ex-guerrilla now living on the streets — all brought together by the seemingly inconsequential destiny of a dog. The directorial debut of Alejandro G. Iñárritu, this award-winning film is bold, ambitious, and, once seen, never forgotten. After 25 years, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s legendary debut returns to the big screen in a stunning restoration.

In the episode dropping July 16, host Rico Gagliano gets the origin story of Amores Perros, straight from the legends who made it: director Alejandro Iñárritu and his cinematographer, Rodrigo Prieto. From Iñárritu’s leap behind the camera after hosting Mexico City’s most notorious radio show, to Prieto’s f*%k-it experiments with the movie’s actual negative, it’s a tale of two iconoclasts who figured this was their shot at revolutionizing Mexican cinema…and did.
Meanwhile, dig their episode about the history of Modern Mexico City filmmaking, featuring Amores star Gael Garcia Bernal’s memories of the movie’s Cannes premiere: the night that made him a marquee name.
