Usually, filmmakers try to avoid commenting on the negative reception their films get, they just leave it up to audiences and critics to do the talking. Not Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. His latest film, “Bardo,” has been mostly panned by critics, it’s become one of the big, if not the biggest, disappointment of the fall festival season. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Inarritu says the lukewarm reception his film received is from people who “misunderstood” his film: Wait, did Inarritu just hint at retirement? It’s hard not to see the narcissism in this response. I’ve already said that I’m very excited to watch Inarritu’s “Bardo,” despite the tepid reviews. It just sounds like something that warrants attention given that it is a swing-for-the-fences statement from the Mexican filmmaker. However, Inarritu should really just let his film do the talking.
