By Some Movie NewsAlejandro González Iñárritu has always been interested in the same problem: what a person owes the world after they have broken something that could not be fixed. His debut arrived with a car crash and never fully let go of that logic.
The four films below trace that question across geography, genre, and register. They move from Mexico City to the Moroccan desert to a Manhattan stage, each one tightening the argument. They arrive in release order. The destination opens at the end of September.
The debut that established Iñárritu's moral grammar. Three lives collide at an intersection in Mexico City, and the violence moves in only one direction: outward.
His most geographically sprawling film asks what distance does to responsibility. A single act fans out across four countries, and everyone in its radius pays.
An aging actor wages one last, desperate campaign for cultural relevance. Iñárritu's first comedy is also his sharpest dissection of ego. Until now.
Survival and revenge stripped to their most elemental form. His most formally austere film, and the one that best illustrates what a man will justify when the cause is righteous enough.
The most powerful man in the world causes an apocalyptic disaster and races to fix it before anyone notices. Iñárritu returns to the same question as his debut: the cost of a single person's choices, now with Tom Cruise and a darker punchline.
