Rest in Peace Film Review of “Rest in Peace”
“Rest in Peace” is, first and foremost, a film that rests on the foundation of a strong script determined to tell its story and, while employing many elements of a thriller, doesn’t insist on being a Hollywood-style thriller. The film expertly creates intrigue, plays the part of a suspense movie but also manages to stay within the realm of drama,...

“There is nothing to understand, there’s a lot to feel,” declares Alejandro G. Iñárritu about his ambitious and deeply personal new film “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths.” For our recent webchat he adds, “If you want to understand, there’s nothing to understand, just shut up your mind and let yourself go, and go with the dream. When people do that, they use art to be transported. That’s how cinema started in the first place. Then narrative and storytelling was added to the equation, but it’s not necessarily the only possibility of cinema,” he explains. “This is not an autobiography. This is a fictionalized exercise, a very personal and intimate experience to get us into this labyrinthine way that our memory works,” he notes, adding that he “wanted to establish that this was a journey in the mental landscape of a character that is navigating between truth and fiction.

After two multiple Oscar winners in quick succession – Birdman and The Revenant – we’ve had to wait seven years for a feature from Alejandro G. Iñárritu. That wait ends this week, with the arrival of Bardo on Netflix. And it’s probably his most personal film to date.
To give the film its full title, Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, is an epic journey through the memories of journalist and filmmaker Silverio Gama (Daniel Gimenez Cacho) as he returns to his home country of Mexico to confront his own identity, his relationships with his family as well as the history and likely future of his nation. Mixing emotion and comedy and sprinkled with nostalgia, it takes on universal themes such as success, mortality and family bonds. In other words, what it means to be human in today’s world.

Few films released in 2022 make a bolder visual statement than “Bardo (or False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths).” Alejandro González Iñárritu’s sprawling film about an acclaimed documentarian returning to his hometown in Mexico to receive an award has captivated audiences with its unapologetically surreal images since premiering at the Venice International Film Festival in September.
It begins with a newborn baby asking to be inserted back into his mother’s womb, and only gets crazier from there, as Iñárritu attempts to make sense of life and art while looking for meaning in a world that can seem devoid of it.
To discuss bringing such a singular artistic vision to life, the film’s stars Daniel Giménez Cacho and Ximena Lamadrid, production designer Eugenio Caballero, and supervising sound editor and sound designer Martín Hernandez joined IndieWire’s Eric Kohn for a panel at IndieWire’s Consider This FYC Brunch.

It’s holding onto numbers for Sunday from one-night premieres this past week in LA at the Fonda and in NY at Webster Hall with live performances by The Moldy Peaches, Adam Green, Wah Together and special guests Tim Heidecker and Jim Jarmusch.

For the first time since 2015's "The Revenant," Alejandro González Iñárritu is back behind the camera. The Academy Award-winning filmmaker, who's taken home directing trophies for both the Leonardo DiCaprio survival thriller and 2014's trippy, Michael Keaton-led dark comedy "Birdman," returns with the Netflix film "Bardo." The movie's full title is actually "Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths," and Iñárritu serves as not just director of the project, but also writer, producer, and editor.
Now, "Bardo" has a new trailer, and the film that premiered at Venice looks like a surreal, gorgeous, and potentially somewhat inscrutable work of art. This stunning but disorienting trailer doesn't exactly explain what's going on in this movie, but the film's official synopsis makes its plot a little more explicit. Apparently, the film tells the story of "Silverio, a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker living in Los Angeles." After being named...

"We think we're from several places when in fact… we're from nowhere." Who are we, where are we, why are we? Some of the questions Iñárritu tries to explore in this.

This wide-screen epic is set in the 1980s and follows the journey of Silverio Gama, a ex-pat Mexican journalist and filmmaker living in L.A., back to his native country to collect an award. He is beset by both memories and fears as he makes his way home. Acclaimed Mexican actor Daniel Giménez Cacho is Silverio and Argentine’s leading lady Griselda Siciliani plays his wife.

Alejandro González Iñárritu has released the first trailer for his Netflix Oscar contender “Bardo” — and the entire movie is now 22 minutes shorter.
The Mexican filmmaker and two-time best director winner’s eighth film, “Bardo (or False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths),” premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival. After screening at Venice and Telluride, Iñárritu went back into the edit room and cut down 22 minutes from the film, bringing its runtime to two hours and 32 minutes, without credits.
“The first time I saw my film was with 2,000 people in Venice,” Iñárritu told IndieWire. “That was a nice opportunity to see it and learn about things that could benefit from being tied up a bit, add one scene that never arrived on time, and move the order of one or two things. Little by little, I tightened it, and I am very excited about it.”

Bardo opens theatrically in Mexico on October 27.
Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu saluted Netflix for ensuring his latest film Bardo, False Chronicle Of A Handful Of Truths would have a global theatrical rollout.
“The incredible thing is that now this film will be all over the theatres in Mexico and all over the world including in the US and in Spanish-speaking territories for seven weeks, and this is without precedent,” Iñárritu said at the film’s press conference at the Venice Film Festival. “I believe this is a film that really belongs in this space.”

Will “Bardo” be Alejandro González Iñárritu’s third best director Oscar in a row following “Birdman” and “The Revenant” wins? It’s a question many were asking heading into the Venice Film Festival, where the Netflix-backed “Bardo” world premiered in competition.
They had plenty of time to contemplate their answer as the three-hour-film wrapped at 12:15 a.m. Venice time, and earned a standing ovation of just over four minutes at the Sala Grande. A number of audience members began leaving before the movie ended given the extremely late hour, but the vast majority showed up for the helmer and stayed to applaud him right to the bitter end.
Iñárritu was visibly moved by the reception to his film, certainly one of his most personal efforts to date, and had tears in his eyes as he embraced his cast and producers. “Bardo” is his first feature film since 2015’s “The Revenant.

“You inevitably turn into what people think you are,” someone opines a few hours (or years) into Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Bardo (or False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths),” a movie so nakedly personal in spite of its epic scope that even the most benign stray comments betray the sting of self-flagellation. And yet there’s a reason why this one manages to break the skin.
By this point in the film’s oneiric non-story, it’s already clear that Silverio (Daniel Giménez Cacho) — a journalist turned documentarian who returns to Mexico a few days before he’s scheduled to receive a major industry award in his adopted home of Los Angeles — is a stand-in for the Oscar-winning auteur behind the camera, who’s shooting an entire movie in his birth country for the first time since “Amores Perros” catapulted him to fame 22 years ago.

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s first film set and shot in his native Mexico since he turned heads more than two decades ago with Amores Perros is as long and windy as its title. “It’s pretentious and pointlessly oneiric,” scoffs a fellow Mexican who has found success in crass commercialism rather than art and truth, dismissing the semi-autobiographical protagonist’s work. Iñárritu seems to be cheekily preempting his critics. However accurate you find that assessment, the epic existential comedy, Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, is also a work of exacting craftsmanship, shifting with beguiling fluidity between dream and reality with ravishing visuals, shot on 65mm by the great cinematographer Darius Khondji.

The 49th annual Telluride Film Festival will host the world premiere screenings of Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking,” Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light,” and Sebastian Lelio’s “The Wonder” – as well as North American premieres of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Bardo,” Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones and All,” Todd Field’s “Tar,” James Gray’s “Armageddon Time,” and Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Broker” among other top fall titles.
In keeping with the Telluride Film Festival’s famously late-breaking announcement process, the 2022 lineup was revealed on Thursday morning, just one day before the prestigious festival kicks off.
Due to the nuances of how the Toronto International Film Festival positioned some of its debuts as well as the roster of features debuting at the Venice Film Festival this week, industry observers had long expected many of the 2022 titles to screen in the Colorado town. But that doesn’t make the Telluride list any less impressive in its variety.

Alejandro González Iñárritu is having a homecoming of many sorts.
The Oscar-winning director returned to his home nation of Mexico to film upcoming feature “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” after leaving for Los Angeles exactly 20 years ago. The Netflix film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and will play in movie theaters in Mexico starting October 27 before debuting in North American theaters November 4. Netflix will release the title for streaming December 16.
The special theatrical run in both nations “is something I really appreciate,” Iñárritu said during a Venice Film Festival press conference (via Deadline). “Not only because I was supported and left totally free but [Netflix] has been extremely generous in allowing people to experience this movie in a theater. This is something especially important for me and is an exceptional gesture from Netflix to me. Because I think this is a movie that belongs to this type of experience.

Alejandro González Iñárritu made a spirited appearance at the Venice Film Festival Thursday where he dismissed fears that audiences will be unable to correctly experience his latest film Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths when it is released on Netflix later this year.
“My generation has seen movies by great authors and when I was studying cinema, besides exhibitions and festivals, Bergman, Bunuel, Fellini, I saw all their movies on TV with terrible quality and VHS,” Iñárritu said when asked about his film streaming.

“If I had to go to the toilet I stopped the movie. So we are all forced to stop the screenings. But what remains is our ideas. A movie is a movie. It is just a means. A cathedral for cinema. It’s a place where children are born.”

Film lovers roll up. Here’s our annual list of movies that could have festivals drooling in 2022.
Our list kicked off last year with The Power of the Dog and The Tragedy of Macbeth and also included the likes of Belfast, Benedetta, The Hand of God and A Hero. Fair to say those films all hit their mark in 2021.
With Covid disruption continuing, a number of anticipated movies on last year’s list have yet to see the light of day so some will be included again this year as their releases come into view. Most of the titles below are in post-production, a few are still filming, and some are done. None has yet to start principal photography, and none has been declared for a festival so far.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s next movie, newly titled “Bardo (Or False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths),” has completed filming in Mexico City.
The project, described as a “nostalgic comedy” set against an “epic journey,” centers on a renowned Mexican journalist and a documentary filmmaker who returns to his native country at an existential crossroads, one that leaves him questioning his identity, familial relations, the folly of his memories, as well as the past and current reality of the place he calls home. Daniel Gimenez Cacho and Griselda Siciliani will co-star in the film.
“Bardo” marks the first time in two decades — since his first feature “Amores Perros” — that Iñárritu shot and produced a film entirely in his native country of Mexico.
In addition to directing, Iñárritu co-wrote the script with Nicolás Giacobone, who previously collaborated with the filmmaker on “Biutiful” and “Birdman.” The production team includes cinematographer Darius Khondji,...

Though in production since March, Alejandro G. (née González) Iñárritu’s Limbo—his first feature since 2015’s The Revenant—has moved along rather quietly, its biggest known details the presence of Daniel Giménez Cacho (Zama) and Griselda Siciliani, as well as the great Darius Khondji assuming Dp duties and the addition of Roma‘s production designer Eugenio Caballero. Otherwise, something about “the political and social modernity of Mexico,” a claim that leaves us intrigued if not, well, advised. And while it would hardly be a shame to go between now and its likely 2022 premiere sans further info, a report from Mexican outlet El Universal has our attention.
From their reporting comes word Limbo concerns the Mexican-American War, production having constructed an exact replica of the Chapultepec Castle—site for the 1847 Battle of Chapultepec, a turning point wherein thousands of Mexican soldiers were slain. (Peep their site for a set photo...

Cesc Gay’s “The People Upstairs” (a.k.a. “Sentimental”), Nacho Álvarez’s feature debut “My Heart Goes Boom! (“Explota Explota”) and the series “Ines of My Soul” (“Inés del alma mía”), based on the book of the same name by Isabel Allende, will have their world premieres at the San Sebastian film festival in September.
All three are galas from Radio Televisión Española (Rtve), official sponsor of the festival.
Spain’s Gay had a hit with “Truman,” starring Ricardo Darin (“The Secret in Their Eyes”) and Javier Cámara (“Talk to Her”). The film world premiered at San Sebastian in 2015, won best actor for Darin and Camara, and went on to carve out sizeable box office in and outside Spain.
“The People Upstairs,” starring Camara, Belen Cuesta, Griselda Siciliani and Alberto San Juan, is the adaptation of a play by Gay himself, where a meeting between two neighboring couples ends in an emotional tsunami.

Director: Armando Bo Starring: John McInerny, Griselda Siciliani, Margarita Lopez, Rocío Rodríguez Presedo, Corina Romero I went into The Last Elvis knowing that is was about an Argentinean Elvis impersonator, which somehow led me to expect an offbeat musical. Of course, if I knew that Biutiful scribe Armando Bo directed The Last Elvis, I would have been much more prepared for the film's depressing and hopeless air. In fact, the two films are somewhat similar to each other, as they both follow single, working class fathers who are struggling to make enough money to support their families. In both films, the men must focus on their dehumanizing day jobs as well as the jobs that they are destined to do, rather than parenting. Both men also exist in states of constant conflict with their ex-wives. Despite the obvious love that they have for their children, they are severely flawed parents...

More from the Latino scene from our woman in L.A., free lance festival programmer extraordinaire, Christine Davila, from her blog Chicana from Chicago:
Looking at yesterday’s announcement of Film Independent’s Los Angeles Film Festival reveals a healthy Latino presence among the 62 features and 48 short films in the program. Here’s how I break down the Latino/ Ibero/ U.S. Latino component of the program.
Chile continues to give Argentina a run for its cache of exciting and growing cinematic output from South America with the inclusion of Thursday Til Sunday (Isa & Distributor: FiGa) written and directed by Dominga Sotomayor ♀, in Narrative Competition.
Although the traveling Mexican film festival Ambulante is no longer a program spotlight, Mexican films continue to be a mainstay of the festival. There are four feature-length films and three short films from/about Mexico. In Narrative Competition, The Compass is Carried by the Dead Man (Isa: Kafilms, Argentina) written and directed by Arturo Pons [about a young Mexican aiming for Chicago], and in Documentary Competition, Drought by Everado González (recently awarded Best Documentary at FICG27) . Out of competition is the gorgeously shot documentary, Canícula, and although the funding is mainly stateside, Bernardo Ruiz paints a fascinating portrait of the risky journalistic practice and history of the seminal Tijuana weekly, Zeta in Reportero.
Also of note in the program is that four short films list Cuba as a co-production/origin of country.
But what of the U.S. Latino filmmakers and stories? Last year Los Angeles Film Festival was a great launchpad for Mamitas (Distributor: ScreenMedia, Producer rep: Traction Media), an authentic Chicano portrayal of young love set in Echo Parque written and directed by Nicolas Ozeki (a non-Latino), co-starring fast rising hot talents Veronica Diaz-Carranzo (Blaze You Out) and E.J. Bonilla. The film is currently in theaters now. (Big recommend,theater listings here-go support it!)
The closest we have to representing U.S. Latino in the features section is Four, the feature debut of Joshua Sanchez who hails from Houston, Texas. Based on a Christopher Shinn play, the July 4th-eve-set story is a snapshot of two disparate relationships tensely intertwined and their at-odd dynamics of desire. Coincidentally, E.J. Bonilla also stars (this guy is blowing up!). I would also include as U.S. Latino, Searching for Sugar Man, the documentary by Malik Bendjelloul about singer songwriter Sixto Rodriguez’s fascinating rise and fall into obscurity as a Uj.S. Latino story. As a matter of fact, the film seems to suggest that perhaps Sixto’s Mexican-American identity might have been a reason he was not embraced by the 60s and 70s mainstream. [Per Sydney: The film was snatched up at Sundance by Sony Pictures Classics and by Isa Protagonist who is screening it twice in Cannes.]
As for U.S. Latino shorts, Fireworks written and directed by Victor Hugo Duran, which is also incidentally centered around 4th of July, is an L.A. set story about boys trying to rap on girls.
My favorite Miami based hooligans, Jillian Mayer and Lucas Leyva, keep representing with their fresh and experimental short film, Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke. They are part of a collective of go-there filmmakers, Borscht Corp who had four crazy shorts screen at SXSW (and they were a riot to bootie shake dance with at SXSW Film’s Closing Night Party). You must carve out an hour and look at their work on the site (Nsfw!)
And lastly, in front of camera there’s some America Ferrera in Todd Berger’s It’s a Disaster (Isa: Maya), and rising boriqua actress April Hernandez Castillo, of hit webseries East Willy B, Dexter and other TV, is in The History of Future Folk [Per Sydney: one of 7 horror films in the festival, another being It's A Disaster per Dread Central, so take note Latino distributors like Lionsgate because horror films are a favorite of a certain Latino demographic!] by J. Anderson Mitchell and Jeremy Kipp Walker, described as a “sweet sci-fi musical comedy”. Below is the rest of the Latino and Ibero-American (includes Spain and Portugal). Descriptions provided by L.A.

o The Last Elvis – Argentina (Director Armando Bo Writers Armando Bo, Nicolás Giacobone Producers Steve Golin, Hugo Sigman, Patricio Alvarez Casado, Victor Bo, Armando Bo Cast John McInerny, Griselda Siciliani, Margarita Lopez) – John McInerny gives a staggering performance in this poignant tale of a Buenos Aires Elvis impersonator who only comes alive when he dons the King’s clothes to perform. How can he reconcile his dreams of glory with his dead end factory job and an estranged wife and daughter who can’t live inside his fantasies?
o Neighboring Sounds – Brazil (Director/Writer Kleber Mendonça Filho Producer Emilie Lesclaux Cast Irandhir Santos, Gustavo Jahn, Maeve Jinkings, W.J.
