Sueño Perro

more pictures .:. A couple of decades after becoming famous for his Amores Perros movie, Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Mexico City, 1963) realized that over a million feet of film left on the cutting room floor during the editing were still kept at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The twenty-fifth anniversary (2000-2025) of the director's debut work seemed to provide him with the opportunity to consider the abandoned material again, choosing significant sequences to be shown to an international audience in leading cultural institutions – in Mexico as well as in California, beyond here in Milan – and putting vintage technologies and aging professionals at work once more, a quarter of century later.
.:. Analogic projectors break the darkness of the Fondazione Prada's Podium exhibition hall, terrify visitors with awful scenes from Mexico City at the turn of the millennium – everything in Amores Perros came from Iñárritu's personal experience, the director maintains – and make them feel lucky not to be born there in those times.
.:. So why go and visit? First, because Iñárritu received more than thirty international awards, and there must be a reason why. Second, because the social situation of Mexico at the time of Amores Perros is extensively, impressively and brilliantly illustrated in another room above the Podium. Third, because "in an age dominated by artificial intelligence and digital pervasiveness, you are invited to step into an analogue and handcrafted world of visual and emotional intensity." It's like dreaming, when we know the characters but not yet how they will behave.
