Netflix has released an official trailer for Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, the newest film from director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Let’s take a look.

I wasn’t too hot on Iñárritu’s 2015 film The Revenant, but I’m definitely willing to check out Bardo.

The film stars Daniel Giménez Cacho, Griselda Siciliani, Ximena Lamadrid, Iker Sanchez Solano, Andrés Almeida, and Francisco Rubio.

Plot Synopsis:

BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths is 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, 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.

Bardo opens in theaters on November 18, 2022, before streaming on Netflix on December 16, 2022.
