Shot on 65mm, with striking cinematography from Academy Award-nominee Darius Khondji, the film is said to be a semi-autobiographical account of the Mexican filmmaker’s roots in Mexico. Cue in the “Roma” comparisons. Netflix was lacking a big contender this year for Oscar contention; Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde” and Noah Baumbach’s “White Noise” seem more poised for critical attention than any kind of Academy love. Deadline actually has an exclusive plot synopsis: As reported on 09.24.21, the film has been a source of controversy in Mexico, with a hefty batch of poisonous rumors indicating that Iñárritu completely ignored COVID protocols during the production of ‘Bardo’ and that a lawsuit, by some members of the production crew, was imminent. Regardless, Inarritu is a major voice in cinema and this is without a doubt one of our most anticipated films of the year. It’s also the Mexican filmmaker’s first film since his 2015 technical triumph “The Revenant.” Contribute Hire me
