BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths

BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (2022) is an auteur drama by Alejandro González Iñárritu that you can watch online on iFILM. Shot in Mexico over 159 minutes, the film was photographed by Darius Khondji, who builds frames where memory and the present moment bleed into each other without warning. Daniel Giménez Cacho leads as journalist and filmmaker Silverio Gama.

Silverio lives in Los Angeles. He wins a prestigious international award and flies home to Mexico — a trip he expects to last a few days. Instead it becomes a reckoning: with who he was, with the country he left behind, with what success actually cost him. Iñárritu folds questions about belonging and artistic identity into a journey that keeps refusing to follow a straight line.

The film arrived on Netflix as one of the most intimate works from the director of Birdman and The Revenant. Stream BARDO (2022) online on iFILM.
