Amores Perros AKA Love's a Bitch (2000). Absolutely awesome Mexican flick that comes with one major warning. If you are an animal lover ya may want to stay away from this one (unless of course ya can completely divorce movies from the real world). The title is an apt one, for this is a painful study on the pain of love, both sexual and familial. The story was convoluted but never confusing, with a nice complement of drama and action. The acting was awesome, as was the direction and camera-work. The symbolism works wonderfully, and Cofi almost serves as the centerpoint to the fundamental meaning of this great movie. A long movie to be sure, i never found myself wondering when it would be over, and was actually found myself disappointed that it ended so soon.
