STREAMING EXCLUSIVELY FROM 10 JULY 2026
FIVE-TIME ACADEMY AWARD®-WINNING FILMMAKER ALEJANDRO G. IÑÁRRITU’S GROUNDBREAKING DEBUT RETURNS 25 YEARS AFTER ITS ORIGINAL RELEASE
MUBI, the global film distributor, streaming service and production company, is pleased to announce the exclusive streaming release of the new 4K restoration of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s landmark debut feature, Amores Perros, arriving on the platform from 10 July 2026 to mark the film’s 25th anniversary. The restoration is currently playing in theatres nationwide in the US.
In addition, an Amores Perros artbook was published by MACK last fall which brings together stills, on-set photography, behind-the-scenes materials, and cuttings from its critical reception to weave a thrilling narrative of the film’s immense production and influence. The intricate construction of the film’s tripartite structure is tracked through stills alongside Iñárritu’s handwritten notes devising the subtexts, driving forces, and characterisation of each scene, interleaved with original storyboards by Fernando Llanos. Combining drama, brutality, suspense, and pathos, Iñárritu’s fragmentary but propulsive original tale is reflected in the collaged arrangement of the book’s design. Completed by a new text by Iñárritu himself, as well as contributions by renowned directors Denis Villeneuve and Walter Salles, award winning novelists Jorge Volpi and Wendy Guerra, film critic Elvis Mitchell, and storyboard artist Fernando Llanos, Amores Perros offers a rich insight into the practice and process of one of the world’s leading filmmakers.
One of the most celebrated and influential films of the twenty-first century, Amores Perros announced the arrival of a new generation of filmmaking talent and launched the international careers of director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, actor Gael García Bernal and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto. Twenty-five years after its premiere, the film remains a defining work of contemporary cinema: bold, visceral and formally groundbreaking, with an influence that continues to be felt across film and television today.
Set against the backdrop of Mexico City, Amores Perros unfolds through three interconnected stories brought together by a devastating car accident. A love triangle between brothers, a man who gives up everything for a beautiful model, and a hitman with a past he’s about to unearth. The circle never truly closes: pain, too, can be a path to hope.
Through its layered exploration of love, loss, violence and fate, Iñárritu crafts an uncompromising portrait of a city, and of the fragile ties that connect seemingly separate lives.
A quarter of a century after its debut, Amores Perros remains as urgent, heartbreaking and thought-provoking as ever: a timeless work whose impact on world cinema continues to resonate with audiences old and new.
