Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (15)
Directed by Alejandro G Inarritu
FOUR-TIMES Oscar-winning film-maker Alejandro G Inarritu’s follow-up to The Revenant is an intimate and personal yet ambitious and visually mind-blowing homage to his Mexican roots and his country.
This is a shortened (by 24 minutes) version of the original film that was shown in Venice, which feels like a never-ending lucid dream, by the end coming full circle, reminiscent of Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival.
