Emotional Reunion at Cannes: 'Amores Perros' Celebrates 25 Years with Standing Ovation

Cannes Film Festival: 'Amores Perros' 25th Anniversary Marked by Emotional Reunion and Standing Ovation The Cannes Film Festival recently hosted a special screening of Alejandro González Iñárritu's 'Amores Perros' in celebration of its 25th anniversary. The event was made even more poignant by the reunion of the film's stars, Gael García Bernal and others. The screening was particularly memorable due to an anecdote shared by Bernal. "Imagine," Bernal recounted, "after 25 years of the film's premiere in Cannes, and the initial lack of an audience... When we arrived at the Miramar theater, three minutes before the screening, there was no one there. I even smoked a whole pack of cigarettes!" The stark contrast between the initial emptiness and the eventual packed house was striking. The later screening, however, was a resounding success, filled with enthusiastic fans and culminating in a standing ovation. This emotional contrast beautifully encapsulates the film's enduring legacy and its continued resonance with audiences worldwide. The event serves as a testament to the power of cinema and the enduring impact of 'Amores Perros' on the cinematic landscape.
