What is the Bardo movie all about?

Oscar-Winner Iñárritu’s newest film, his first since 2015’s Revenant, is heading to Netflix. Bardo, The False Chronicle of a Handful Truths was written by Iñárritu and Nicola. The two legends previously collaborated on the Oscar-winning script for Birdman. The movie is a nostalgic comedy that portrays the story of a renowned Mexican Journalist and documentary filmmaker who returns home and works through an existential crisis.

Life takes a hard toll on him as he seemingly struggles with his identity crisis and relationships and finds it difficult to adjust to recent developments in the world. Long story short, like most of us, our protagonist hunts down questions from his past to build up his broken present.

Daniel Giménez Cacho and Griselda Siciliani play leading characters in the movie. The movie is currently in the last stages of production in Mexico and is expected to wrap this fall. Following this, it’ll get a theatrical release ahead of its debut on the streamer. “Alejandro is one of the greatest modern filmmakers and one of the leading visionaries in our industry. ‘Bardo’ is a cinematic experience that has inspired us to create a release strategy designed for the film to penetrate culture in the biggest and widest way,” Netflix Head of Global Film Scott Stuber said.

The date of release is not out yet. However, we expect it’ll land on our screens anytime in the following months. Stay tuned to know more about the upcoming movie.
