Netflix has just dropped the epic new trailer for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, which at just under three minutes is perhaps more impressive than most feature-length films turn out to be.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker’s first since The Revenant tells the story of a famous Mexican journalist (played by Daniel Giménez Cacho) who returns to his native country following great success abroad, only to be confronted with an existential crisis. Go on a trip with the trailer below…
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 will be released in select cinemas on November 4th, before expanding Nationwide on November 18th. The film will eventually drop on Netflix on December 16th.
