Alejandro González Iñárritu’s upcoming film Bardo just received a new trailer, and a confirmation that it’s shaving 22 minutes of its run time.
Netflix shared the trailer for the Birdman director’s next film, the full title being Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, which is set to release in select theaters November 4, and joining the subscription service December 16. As reported by IndieWire, the film has also had a pretty big change too–it’s now 22 minutes shorter, bringing it to two hours and 32 minutes in length, without credits.
Experience a state of mind.

According to IndieWire, Iñárritu made the decision to shorten the film following screenings of it at the Venice Film Festival and Telluride. “The first time I saw my film was with 2,000 people in Venice,” the director told IndieWire. “That was a nice opportunity to see it and learn about things that could benefit from being tied up a bit, add one scene that never arrived on time, and move the order of one or two things. Little by little, I tightened it, and I am very excited about it.”
