As per an official press release we’ve just received, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s next film Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths is heading to streaming giant Netflix. The film is now in post production with a completion date set for later this year.
Shot on 65mm and boasting striking cinematography from Academy Award-nominee Darius Khondji (Amour, Se7en), ‘Bardo’ will enjoy a theatrical release on a global scale later this year including in Mexico, its country of origin, as well as the US, Canada, UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Japan and Korea, among many more before debuting on Netflix.
Written by Iñárritu and Nicolás Giacobone (who previously collaborated on the Academy Award-winning script for Birdman or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance and Biutiful), BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths is a nostalgic comedy set against an epic personal journey. It chronicles the story of a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker, who returns home and works through an existential crisis as he grapples with his identity, familial relationships, the folly of his memories as well as the past of his country. He seeks answers in his past to reconcile who he is in the present.
Daniel Giménez Cacho and Griselda Siciliani lead the cast.
