The film features six plot lines set across different eras spanning from the 19th century Pacific Islands, to modern day London, to 22nd century Korea, to a post-apocalyptic future. One of the most expensive independently produced features of all time, вЂњCloud AtlasвЂќ not only went to new lengths for funding, but it also took the idea of interlocking, ensemble stories and added and additional twist. Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer (2012) The interwoven narratives grant the film its universal appeal. Pain and loss ultimately illuminate these virtues, and the result is a heart-wrenching portrait of life and strife in Mexico City.

Inarritu endeavors to explore the filmвЂ™s themesвЂ“love, morality, classism, and loyalty (epitomized in the man-dog relationship)вЂ“with harrowing extremes. The plot hinges on a tragic accident that brings three disparate characters together, though each narrative thread is individually developed and self-contained with its impassioned performances and complex relationships. The film, which translates to вЂњLoveвЂ™s a BitchвЂќ and is often dubbed вЂњthe Mexican вЂ Pulp Fiction,вЂ™вЂќ was the writer-director duoвЂ™s first collaboration in what evolved into a trilogy of interwoven narrative films with вЂњ21 GramsвЂќ and вЂњBabel.вЂќ вЂњAmores PerrosвЂќ was a prodigious directorial debut for Inarritu, showcasing a mastery of the craft that directors scarcely achieve with their sophomore efforts. Alejandro IГ±ГЎrritu (2000)ДЄlejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Guillermo Arriaga are two of the strongest forces ever to emerge from Mexican cinema. Life is cheap, death is random, andВ noВ one is safe.вЂќ (Oliver MacMahon)

Incredibly, the story lines all merge at certain points their significance andВ meaning altered and empowered byВ their build up after one another.В AsВ Eric Hynes wrote in our review,В вЂњвЂAjamiвЂ™ is essentially a sustained gazeВ into aВ widening, all-encompassing trap. Set in Jaffa, Israel, the OphirВ Award-winning film is narrated by a young boy, Nasri, who watches on as theВ world around him seemingly tumbles into anarchy: An Arab-Israeli family faceВ ruin via a petty vendetta aВ teenager is illegally employed in theВ Palestinian territoryВ of Nabalus to pay for his motherвЂ™s surgery a Jewish cop becomesВ distracted on the job after his youngerВ brother goes missing a PalestinianВ cook hopes to marry a Jewish girl from Tel Aviv while another falls for aВ Christian. TheВ multi-character masterpiece contains five story lines playing out inВ non-chronological order with events often beingВ shown from multiple varyingВ perspectives.

вЂњAjamiвЂќ is the result of an astonishingВ collaboration between Palestinian Scandar Copti and Israeli Yaron Shani.
