Story
The movie follows Silverio Vaquerizo, a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker living in Los Angeles. After being named the recipient of a prestigious international award, he returns to his native Mexico. Upon arrival, this simple trip pushes him to an existential limit as he confronts his past, present, and Mexican identity.
Summary
Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu ('Amores Perros', 'Birdman'), 'Bardo' is a semi-autobiographical exploration of the filmmaker's own experiences in journalism, filmmaking, and his complex relationship with Mexico. The movie blends comedy, drama, surrealism, and existentialism as it delves into Silverio's midlife crisis, his struggles with his Mexican identity while living abroad, and possibly his miscarriage or loss (as implied by the keyword 'miscarriage'). It is a reflection on life, career, family, and the artistic process itself.
