Amores Perros
 

my weekly subtitled cinema run: This week it was Amores Perros....3 1/2 stars out of 4 from me. Very raw and gritty but if someone is over sensitive to violence involving animals (especially dogs) they might have trouble with it.

There is so much good cinema coming out of Latin and South America at the moment :thumbsup

One of my favs too!

Have you seen Y Tu Mama Tambien? Another good one from Mexico :)

Not yet but it is on my blockbuster dvd rental thingie list. They will eventually send it.

good pick
i loved the scene where brothers meet in the old man's place.
you wanted to kill him? go ahead kill him!

You want to make God laugh? - make a plan

thanks for the advice

see the movie :)

yup, that was the stand out line of the film. She was cute too :)

Where do you get that kind of movies ? I'm very open to other countries cinema right now


Btw you should watch
The barbarian invasions ... very good film from here . won an oscar :P

"Que hiciste pendejo? que hiciste?"

Nioe quote from that movie. That movie is one of my favorites.

Btw... wasn't the title translated to English?

I use Netflix.

Barbarians at the Gate is on my list :)

downloading now :thumbsup

Love's A Bitch


but I try to use the real titles when I can :)

Well, I try to see things in London but it can be hard to since they don't play for long. However, blockbuster just started a system like netflix over in the UK and they have just about every foreign
language film I have heard of in the last 5 years and a ton of docummentries too. Barbarian Invasions is on my list..just a matter of working through the ones that are before it.

Incredible movie. You'd also see "Motorcycle Diaries", based in the diaries of Che Guevara :thumbsup

I'm glad you are enjoying films from Latin America.
South America, the caribbean,and central America make up what is Latin America. :winkwink:

yeah..I am never exactly sure as what totally classifies because I have had people tell me South America is seperate (I admit it is a weak point in my world travels..though I have been to parts) so I cover my bases :)

Just opening in cinemas in London this week..it is on my list to see.

This side of the hempisphere has the Americas. But Latin America is central America, South America, and the caribbean. It's very beautiful. I hope you get to that part of the world some day. :winkwink:

Ya it's a good movie same thing with Y Tu Mama Tambien. I think there are good movies out there, the problem is they are not properly promoted.

I think the problem is that they don't have the money to be mass promoted.

I've really started getting into foreign filmes over the past couple of years. They best Hollywood films almost every time. :)

yeah, being born and raised in the United States I am familiar enough..just not always sure how the region divides up in as much as central america being panama, etc and then after that it is just South America in my head. Which is horrid, I know but geography and cultures is my thing so I will learn :)

:thumbsup
