{{Infobox_Film Gael García Bernal Goya Toledo Álvaro Guerrero Vanessa Bauche Jorge Salinas Gustavo Sánchez Parra Antonio Vega Alejandro González Iñárritu Fernando Pérez Unda Lions Gate Films (USA) Filmax International (Spain} 16 June, 2000 (Mexico) Amores perros is a 2000 Mexican film directed by first-time director Alejandro González Iñárritu. The title roughly translates from the Spanish as Love's a bitch, alluding to the film's recurring focus on dogs. Using a portmanteau narrative structure, the film is told through three separate stories in Mexico City, all connected through a car crash.  The film's unconventional style, and an agressive marketing campaign, made it one of the most successful Mexican films internationally ever.  At the time, it was the highest-grossing film in its home country ever, providing a boost to its ailing film industry.

Plot
It is an example of a portmanteau film, containing three distinct stories which are connected by an automobile accident which takes place in Mexico City. Each of the three tales also revolves around dogs (Spanish: perros) to varying degrees, as implied by the title.

"Octavio and Susana" stars Gael García Bernal and Vanessa Bauche as the title characters. Octavio falls in love with his brother's wife, and he pits his pet dog, Cofi, in illegal dogfights in order to earn the money they need to elope.

"Daniel and Valeria" stars Álvaro Guerrero as a man who has left his family for a famous supermodel (played by Goya Toledo). After an accident, the model becomes disabled and can no longer stand up, and her pet poodle disappears under the floorboards.

"El Chivo and Maru" stars Emilio Echevarría as El Chivo, a tramp and hitman, who lives surrounded by stray dogs. After serving twenty years in jail for guerrilla activities, he tries to reconnect with his daughter Maru, who believes him to be dead.
