Searching for Identity in Iñárritu’s Bardo

Anouk and Bo grew up together until they had a falling out the summer after graduating from high school. Now, almost a year later, they see each other again. Together, they clear out Bo’s grandmother’s house — a return to a place they both knew from their childhood. Between them lie unresolved conflicts, a newfound sense of distance, and old familiarity.
