Amores Perros (2000)

Alejandro González Iñárritu's three-story linked narrative set in the chaos of Mexico City announced the New Mexican Cinema to the world and earned Mexico's first Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film since 1986. The film's hyperkinetic editing, Gustavo Santaolalla's score, and the raw portrayal of Mexico City's social strata remain some of the most vital filmmaking of the decade.
