Bardo: Writer-Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu with Annette Insdorf
Moderator Annette Insdorf interviews five-time Academy Award®-winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu after a screening of Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, a blend of surrealist autobiography and historical engagement that demands to be seen on the big screen.
In 2015, Iñárritu won the Academy Award for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). The following year, he received the Academy Award for Best Director for The Revenant (2015) — the first director since 1950 to win back-to-back Oscars. His other internationally celebrated films include 21 Grams, Babel, and Biutiful.
Stylistically dazzling, Bardo is Iñárritu’s first movie shot in Mexico since his breakout hit Amores Perros in 2000. It follows a renowned journalist (Daniel Giménez Cacho) who returns home to Mexico City after years away and finds himself in limbo. Alternatively hilarious and poignant, Bardo — a Tibetan Buddhist word for a state of existence between death and rebirth — takes us on a breathtaking spiritual ride.
Bardo is currently in theaters and will be released on Netflix December 16.
