Netflix has debuted a brand new trailer for filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s new film, BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths. The film has just played the BFI London Film Festival and will arrive in cinemas from 18th November and then on Netflix from 16th December.
The film is set against the intimate and moving journey of Silverio, a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker living in Los Angeles, who, after being named the recipient of a prestigious international award, 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.
Here’s the new trailer.
