Obviously, Alejandro G. Iñárritu had some feelings to process.
The Mexican-born Iñárritu is the brilliant director of multiple acclaimed films, the two most recent of which are 2014's Academy Award-winning "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)" and the following year's "The Revenant." His credits also include "21 Grams" (2003), "Babel" (2006) and "Biutiful" (2010).
At last, Iñárritu has returned with "Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths," an ever-impressive but also often frustrating meditation on the experience of leaving one land for another.
