"There is no real national cinema. If you make a movie, that's it. That's your shot. I poured everything into that movie. All the contradictions, anger, love, the chaos in Mexico City are there - everything is there. That's why it's messy. That's why it's alive."

He continued, "But the location was perfect, so we went back and negotiated with them. We said: If you let us shoot, you can go to the movie. Is that scene? That's them. That's the people who robbed us. I asked them about the medals, but they said they had sold everything."
Submitted by Iñárritu dog For the Cannes Film Festival, the film was initially rejected by the festival’s Latin American programmers who thought the actor was too long and too violent. "We begged them to show it to the main committee. They said no," Iñárritu recalled. "At the time, you had only American cinemas, European cinemas, in the main competition.
