The Daniel-Valeria story is one about vanity as Arriaga explores the decisions one makes where Daniel has fallen for this model but her desire to be Mexico’s top model would have serious repercussions as Valeria is affected badly by the accident. Octavio is motivated by money in order to get Susana out of a terrible marriage yet there are complications when it comes to winning Susana and dealing with the reckless ideas of his brother Ramiro. Arriaga also goes for a unique approach to narrative where it plays into the effects of these events as each character would encounter moments of death as well as what is important in life. Even as it plays to these intricacies in the script where some of these characters from one story could be in the background while the focus is more in the foreground. Guillermo Arriaga’s screenplay does start off conventionally with Octavio and Susan’s story while there would be little glimpses of the activities of El Chivo as well as Octavio and Jorge watching Valeria on TV. The third and final story involves a hitman named El Chivo (Emilio Echevarria) is trying to reach his estranged daughter as he finds himself in a job that becomes very troubling.Īll of these stories are connected in many ways where they’re all connected by dogs and this car accident that would affect everything.

All of which is told in an anthology-film narrative style but with elements that connects one different story to another. The film explores the lives of various people in Mexico City in its exploration of devotion, loyalty, and death. Amores Perros is a gripping yet evocative film from Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
