Why you should trust this score
How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →
The TVI Take
Alejandro González Iñárritu's 2000 directorial debut, three interlocking Mexico City stories connected by a single car accident. The structural commitment to letting Mexican-urban-cognitive register operate at scale, Iñárritu's first collaboration with cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga, established Mexican Wave international cinema and Iñárritu's career.
Credits and relationships: Wikidata, CC0. TVI preserves production, broadcasting, and distribution as separate roles.
