Biography

Born in Mexico City, Alejandro G. Iñárritu began his career in radio and advertising before transitioning to feature filmmaking. He achieved international prominence with his 2000 debut feature Amores perros, which established his signature style of weaving multiple narrative threads to explore the complexities of the human condition.
