Iñárritu is a filmmaker of great skill and aesthetic attention, clearly an admirer of the work of great masters such as Fellini, Buñuel, and Jodorowsky. Indeed, Bardo is a movie shot with great competence and aesthetic attention, clearly homage of the work of great masters such as Fellini, Buñuel and Jodorowsky. So, absolutely, it can be considered representative of the director himself, as it is partially autobiographical (or introspective, as he says). Too bad, however, that it is made only for him. The whole journey is heavy, alienating and discouraging. At most the entertainment is to approach it as an intellectual challenge, if you are not part of the niche lover of surrealist and predominantly visual cinema. It is commendable that the director still managed to pull off this ambitious project, but, for those who love cinema as a language, one can point out how Iñárritu has chosen hermeticism. 4/10.
