Latin American classic starring Gael García Bernal returns to screens in a restored version, 25 years after its debut
Raw Loves (2000), debut of Alejandro G. Iñárritu (21 grams) and a landmark in contemporary Latin American cinema, is back in Brazilian cinemas. The film, which turns 25 years old in 2025, returns in a restored 4K version, shown this year in the Cannes Classics selection and now in circulation worldwide.
What is it about?
Released in 2000, the film follows three stories interconnected by the brutality of a car accident in Mexico City. Between love, violence and survival, Iñárritu constructs a fragmented and visceral portrait of urban life, paving the way for the aesthetics that would mark his career in works such as 21 grams and Babel.
The cast has Gael García Bernal, Goya Toledo, Emilio Echevarria and Vanessa Bauchebetween others. Awarded the Grand Prize of Critics’ Week at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, Raw Loves consolidated Iñárritu as one of the great filmmakers of the 21st century and revealed fundamental names for contemporary Mexican cinema.
