What critics are saying about BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths

‘Unfettered’: Daniel Giménez Cacho in Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths. AP. View image in fullscreen.I’ve watched Alejandro Iñárritu’s latest – the wildly uneven, Fellini-esque Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths – twice. That’s a little shy of six hours of my life (Iñárritu cut about 20 minutes from the film after its premiere). It’s audacious, bold film-making, a highly personal work that is cluttered with symbolism and bloated with self-regard.

Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths review – bloated...

A film-maker returns home to Mexico to face his memories in a spectacular and staggeringly self-indulgent surreal epic.The film is speckled with brilliant individual moments: there is a stunning sequence in which the streets are littered with the inert bodies of Mexico’s “missing”: the vanished people claimed by poverty and crime, heartlessly ignored by the state. And there is a bravura scene in which Silverio comes face-to-face with the ghost of his poor old dad and tries to say all the things to him he should have said while he was still alive.
