It's hard to say anything about it without giving anything away. Personally I believe it is a masterpiece. Iñarritu's work is incredible. A must-see for fans of film making as art. |

I still remember Amores Perros from 14 years ago at the SDLatino film festival. Alejandro González Iñárritu has moved right away into a pinnacle position in American culture. Iñárritu's project for next Christmas is a remake story done in the 1971 film about a man in the early 19th century betrayed by his comrades and left for dead. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio.  |
