Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s latest film ‘BARDO’, which is doing the rounds at the fall film festivals, just got a new trailer courtesy of Netflix. The film’s full titlte is BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths and is described as an epic, visually stunning and immersive experience set against the intimate and moving journey of Silverio, a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker.
Living in Los Angeles, and after being named the recipient of a prestigious international award, Silverio is compelled to return to his native country, unaware that this simple trip will push him to an existential limit. The folly of his memories and fears have decided to pierce through the present, filling his everyday life with a sense of bewilderment and wonder.
With both emotion and abundant laughter, Silverio grapples with universal yet intimate questions about identity, success, mortality, the history of Mexico and the deeply emotional familial bonds he shares with his wife and children. Indeed, what it means to be human in these very peculiar times.
The film played Venice and will roll out to other international festivals from now in the autumn season, including the BFI London Film Festival next month.
It will then be reelased onto Netflix and in select cinemas from 16th December. Looking forward to catching this one.
Here’s the new trailer.
