Alejandro G. Iñárritu

4 titles · latin american

A car crash in Mexico City joins three lives in Amores Perros. Iñárritu kept building films out of broken pieces after it. 21 Grams shuffles the stories of an ailing mathematician, a suburban mother and a born-again ex-con. Later he went for the long take. Birdman plays as though it were one shot backstage at a theatre, and The Revenant sends a frontiersman left for dead after a bear attack across the winter wilderness.
