This semester I started using Letterboxd and Goodreads a lot more to procrastinate working on my thesis. While probably not the most productive, it did motivate me to start consuming more media in Spanish, French, and German, so I thought I’d start sharing a weekly recommendation! Amores Perros is a movie by Alejandro González Iñarritu, a Mexican filmmaker that has released some great films such as The Revenant and Biutiful. Amores Perros is a devastating movie about different stories that crash together during an accident (figuratively and literally speaking). This movie is such a brutal portrayal of the social problems in Mexico. As the title suggests, dogs play a big part in the story! I’m wondering how they got these dogs to act so well. Are there animal Oscars? If so, it’s a close call between these gnarly dogs and the one from Anatomy of a Fall. That dog can act.
