The directorial debut of Alejandro G. Iñárritu, this award-winning film is bold, ambitious, and, once seen, never forgotten. After 25 years, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s legendary debut returns to the big screen in a stunning restoration. **The MUBI Podcast** is an audio documentary series telling the stories of great cinema: How it happens, and why it matters.
