LOVE'S A BITCH (Amores Perros) (DVD Review) - 14/1/07

I had heard a lot about this film and it's Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and also much about one of it's stars Gael Garcia Bernal - Both of whom seem to be heading up the ranks into Hollywood and it's erstwhile miseries - Let's hope they both survive the encounters? As to the film it's a strange mish-mash that is rather dull in places? Jumping from the past, to the present and the future we get a series of tales interconnected by an horrific car crash as a starting point then seem to flit between the three with a variety of possible messages? Do these people learn from these events? Do the dogs (As metaphors for the characters) enhance the tales? Or is it a series of events about different forms of love on different levels? Some nasty dog fighting scenes will immediately put people off; but as the film's title suggests "Love's A Bitch" and it could easily be a dog, much like this film?
