Alejandro G. Iñárritu is sharing his Truths…
The 59-year-old Mexican Oscar-winning filmmaker and screenwriter has released a new trailer for his new film Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths.
The trailer is set to the tune of the Beatles classic “I Am the Walrus.”
The new trailer gives viewers a taste of what Venice Film Festival attendees experienced this month.
The film received six minutes of applause in its three-hour world premiere on September 2 in Venice.
The director has cut 22 minutes of the film since then, bringing the runtime to about 2½ hours.
Written by Iñárritu and Nicolás Giacobone, Bardo is billed as a nostalgic comedy set against an epic personal journey. It chronicles the story of a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker who returns home and works through an existential crisis as he grapples with his identity, familial relationships, the folly of his memories as well as the past of his country, all the while seeking answers in his past to reconcile who he is in the present.
Mexican actor Daniel Giménez Cacho plays Silverio Gama in Iñárritu’s first film to be shot in Mexico since 2000’s Amores Perros.
The cast also includes Griselda Siciliani, Ximena Lamadrid and Iker Solano and features production design by Eugenio Caballero and costume design by Anna Terrazas.
Bardo opens theatrically in Mexico on October 27, followed by a limited theatrical release in the U.S., Spain and Argentina on November 4 before rolling out in a global expansion on November 18.
The film will debut December 1 on Netflix.
