In the late 1990s and early 2000s, three real-life friends broke into the Mexican and International film scenes and made their mark on the art form. Since then, Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo Del Toro, and Alejandro González Iñárritu have delivered several masterpieces and won several Academy Awards.
In this episode, we highlight three of the filmmaker's finest early works:
- We start with Alfonso Cuarón’s breathtaking coming-of-age story, Y tu mamá también.
- Second, Guillermo Del Toro delivers a brilliant antifascist ghost story in The Devil’s Backbone.
- Finally, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s feature film debut is a breathless, gut-wrenching drama, Amores Perros.
