Summary

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Eve O'Dea, Josh Parham, Tom O'Brien and guest Ryan McQuade to talk about the latest film from Academy Award-winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, "Bardo, False Chronicle Of A Handful Of Truths," starring Daniel Giménez Cacho, Griselda Siciliani, Ximena Lamadrid, Iker Sanchez Solano, Andrés Almeida & Francisco Rubio. Described as a state of mind, the nearly three-hour arthouse film originally premiered at the Venice International Film Festival to negative reviews and has since been received more favorably after it got re-edited and is now streaming on Netflix. What did we think of the dream-like imagery, the messages Iñárritu wanted to convey, the performances, and the gorgeous cinematography from Darius Khondji? We discuss all of this and the film's Oscar prospects in our review below. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!   Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
