In order to create another visually immersive epic about identity, mortality, and success, five-time Academy Award winner Alejandro G. Iárritu reteams with scripting partner Nicolás Giacobone (Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). director Iárritu reinterprets the meaning of "midlife crisis" by fusing these ideas with Mexican history and familial ties. The result is stunning landscape and breath-taking moments that are sure to take viewers on a protracted journey filled with creativity and emotion. As Silverio Gama, the brilliant Daniel Giménez Cacho delivers an amazing performance that perfectly encapsulates the intensity of the film's ideals. While Bardo doesn't always function as it should, Iárritu takes his time telling a visually delicious story even though it is extremely style-driven.

The narrative centres on Los Angeles-based Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker Silverio Gama. Silverio is obliged to travel to his home country of mexico after receiving a big international prize in order to consider how it all began. During his stay, he starts to have an existential crisis in which reality and dream merge, making Silverio doubt everything, including his sense of belonging. Suddenly, his mind takes control and conjures a scene that overwhelms him and his family. All of this culminates in one final understanding of what it means to be a human in uncertain times.

There is no doubting that Iárritu's Bardo is a visually magnificent epic. First time since his 2000 film Amores Perros that the director has shot in mexico, the film reflects the country's culture in a joyous and revered way. But there's a lot wrong with the script. At this time in his life, Silverio also struggles with his inner thoughts, which are made up of the doubts he has about his place in the world and his aptitude as a filmmaker. However, the script never delves deeply into his conundrums instead concentrating on grandiose sequencing and visual virtuosity that ultimately come off as more disorganised since they never satisfy from a storytelling perspective.

Despite taking too long to reach its gripping third act, Bardo is ultimately a filmmaking success that is worth lauding. It's also a little bit overloaded with symbolism to symbolise life's problems, even though the process of figuring them out makes for a rewarding viewing experience. Although Bardo doesn't lend itself to repeated viewings, there is still much to enjoy within the script's constraints. Even though it frequently veers into self-indulgent area, Bardo includes tremendous craftsmanship and is full of exciting sequences and gorgeous images to depict life's complexity.
