Global film distributor and streamer Mubi has unveiled ambitious plans for its re-release of the recent 4K restoration of Mexican filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s 2000 breakthrough work Amores Perros in theaters across Latin American this October.
Under a schedule released today, the film will hit cinemas in Argentina and Colombia on October 2, and will then be released in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Central America from October 9. It will then be available to stream on Mubi from October 25.
In Mexico, Amores Perros will return to theaters nationwide, with audiences in Mexico City having the rare opportunity to experience Iñárritu’s debut film in its original 35mm format at the Cineteca Nacional.
The re-release is part of a wider program of global activities celebrating the film’s 25th anniversary, which kicked off in Cannes last May with a screening of the restored version in the Cannes Classics line-up in the presence of Iñárritu and its star Gael García Bernal.
The film originally world premiered in Cannes in 2000, winning the Grand Prize of parallel section Critics’ Week and launching the international careers of Iñárritu and Bernal.
The visceral, multi-narrative portrait of love, loss, and survival in Mexico City went on to earn an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and remains a touchstone of contemporary cinema.
Mubi announced its acquisition of worldwide rights for the 4K restoration during Cannes, with founder and CEO Efe Cakarel declaring the film “one of the most electrifying debuts in cinema history.”
Further international events include the exhibition ‘Sueño Perro:Instalación Celuloide de Alejandro G. Iñárritu’, an immersive experience presented with the support of cultural institutions in three cities.
The show will launch at Italy’s Fondazione Prada in Milan from September 18, 2025 to February 26, 2026, and also run concurrently in Mexico City’s LagoAlgo cultural center from October 5, 2025 to January 4, 2026, to then open in L.A.’s Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the spring of 2026.
The exhibition merges cinema and visual art and showcases a selection of never-before-seen images from the film, frames that have remained preserved for a quarter of a century in the archives of Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM).
Simultaneously, on September 18, 2025, Mack Books will launch the official Amores Perros book. It delves into behind-the-scenes details never before revealed by Iñárritu and features exclusive material such as stills, storyboards, behind-the-scenes photographs, and handwritten notes and scene descriptions by the filmmaker.
The book also includes essays by Denis Villeneuve, Walter Salles, award-winning novelists Jorge Volpi and Wendy Guerra, film critic Elvis Mitchell, and storyboard artist Fernando Llanos.
With worldwide rights acquired — including a period of co-exclusivity in Latin America through September 2027 — Mubi joins the anniversary celebration with the meticulous restoration, supervised by Criterion Collection, Estudio Mexico Films, and Altavista Films.
The color grading was overseen by Iñárritu himself alongside acclaimed cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, with a brand-new 5.1 surround sound mix by Jon Taylor at NBCUniversal StudioPost.
