Director/Writer/Artist Alejandro G. Iñarritu it's at his best in terms of maturity and personal experience. The use of camera, sound mixing, music, editing, all stands out above the majority of this year's films. But above all, the direction stands out.
It was so refreshing seeing this movie at the theatre when they are full of dull action/superhero movies almost all the time. The Venice Film Festival version of Bardo was 15 minutes longer. This final cut feels just right. Also, Mexico City is portrayed with such beauty, ugliness and life, that it becomes a very important character in the film.
Easily the best artistic movie experience of the year.
