Marking Iñárritu’s third showing at Venice after bringing “21 Grams” (2003) and the best picture winner “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” (2014), the Mexican auteur is one of the early favorites to make a splash, in addition to some possible notoriety for its star, Daniel Giménez Cacho as a renowned journalist and documentarian working through an existential crisis. He’s back in Venice with “ Bardo (or False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths),” from Netflix, which has a strong track record with foreign-language fare during awards season. Venice, as usual, looks to be loaded with awards contenders, with new works from Darren Aronofsky (“The Whale”), Luca Guadagnino (“Bones & All”) and Martin McDonagh (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) - but it’s also got a fair share of high-profile international titles, such as Oscar-winner Alejandro G.
Can we expect another groundbreaker with this year’s crop of contenders?
