The 4K restoration of Amores perros is coming to cinemas in LATAM later this year and coming to MUBI (almost) globally in 2026.
These days, Mexico City is known for major auteurs like Alfonso Cuarón. But it’s not the first time the city has had a cinematic golden age... and, in between, things haven’t always been so golden. Host Rico Gagliano cruises around Mexico City’s sprawl to learn about the local movie industry’s history and culture—from Buñuel to Netflix—with help from guests like superstar Gael Garcia Bernal (Amores perros, 2000), indie hero Lazaro Gabino Rodriguez (Fauna, 2020), and Cuarón’s go-to designer Eugenio Cabellero (Roma, 2018).
Part travelogue, part deep-dive storytelling, the latest season sees host Rico Gagliano jet off to Ireland, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Istanbul to learn about their cultures through the lens of cinema. Season 8’s guests include actors Gael García Bernal (Amores Perros, 2000) and Fiona Shaw (Hot Milk, 2025), writer/directors Rich Peppiatt (Kneecap, 2024), Evan Goldberg (The Studio, 2025), and Halina Reijn (Babygirl, 2024), producer Ed Guiney (Poor Things, 2023), production designer Eugenio Caballero (Roma, 2018), and a host of other filmmakers, programmers, academics, cinema owners, critics, tour guides, and festival directors.
