Searching for Identity in Iñárritu’s Bardo
The director's latest is a dreamlike exploration of a consciousness torn between two homelands, and the implications of history and memory suspended in limbo.

Meet Dee Laytner and his half-Japanese partner, Ryo McLane, a pair of detectives from New York. Not only are these two always chasing down criminals, but Dee can't stop himself from trying to 'chase' Ryo. While on a trip to England, Dee hopes to make his feelings for Ryo known but uninvited guests and a string of murders gets in the way. The pair become involved in the local crime scene when Japanese Americans start turning up dead. Will Ryo be in danger?
