The MYLF youngsters are presenting Amores Perros by Alejandro González Iñárritu for the Raison d'ê3 showcase.

For this third season, the successful collaboration between the MYLF group university students - Movies You'll Like Festival and the National Cinema Museum, has engendered a showcase dedicated to the number 3, called Raison d'ê3. A trilogy is the most widespread form of linking artworks, be they books, films or anything else. Moreover, the number 3 is an important esoteric number, often connected with the concepts of end, new beginnings and synthesis.

In a third chapter, one finds the sum of the previous ones. They are quoted, praised and retraced, a glance goes back to the past, but looking at the future. MYLF wishes to be all of this, this year: a synthesis of its three previous years together, the end of a project, but also, and maybe especially, a new beginning.

The showcased film for November is Amores Perros by multi-awarded director Alejandro González Iñárritu, recounting three stories interweaving against the backdrop of Mexico City. Admission 4.00 euro.

Amores Perros

(Mexico 2000, 153’, Hd, col., o.v. it.s/t)

Three stories crisscross against the backdrop of a frenetic Mexico City. Young proletarian Octavio, in love with Susana, the teenager wife of his violent criminal brother, makes up his mind to elope with her and tries to put together the necessary cash, by introducing his dog into a clandestine fighting ring. Daniel, the upper-class director of a magazine, leaves his wife and daughters to go and live with his new love, Valeria, a lovely successful model. El Chivo has left his family to become an extreme-left terrorist. Following years of jail and alcohol, he is living as a tramp with a pack of feral dogs and, every so often, he kills on commission.
