58. BARDO: FALSE CHRONICLE OF A HANDFUL OF TRUTHS (2022) dir. Alejandro González Iñárritu

Silverio Gama (Daniel Gimenez Cacho) is a multi-hyphenate. Not only is he an acclaimed journalist and documentarian, he also finds himself caught between multiple identities. Is he a champion of Mexican culture, a shining example of national pride? Or is he an Americanized bridge between two countries, useful for political maneuvering? Is it more likely he's just something else entirely? This labyrinthine odyssey through his psyche, insecurities and idiosyncrasies is what BARDO follows, and man, I can't use the term "fever dream" as a higher compliment.- Carlos Aguilar's NYT feature on Daniel Gimenez Cacho described by the Three Amigos---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠& ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠⁠tip jar!
