The story of a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker, who returns home and works through an existential crisis as he grapples with his identity, familial relationships, the folly of his memories as well as the past of his country. He seeks answers in his past to reconcile who he is in the present. (Netflix)

Technically brilliant, self-centered nonsense. Another diligent anamnesis of an artist in late middle age that makes up for its lack of depth with scale, but it misses the mark both as a slightly surreal metaphor for identity crisis and as a reflection on the present. Iñárritu is again confirmed to be a filmmaking bubble. Sorry, not sorry.
