In his works, he skillfully combines sincerity, drama, excellent camera work and to the smallest detail verified performance. Hollywood critics of the Mexican director are highly respected and valued, as confirmed by his two Oscars in the nomination "Best Director", as well as many nominations for this prestigious award. Now the collection of Inarritu will be replenished with another golden statuette. This time for an experiment in the field of virtual reality.

Rather, it is a kind of VR-experience, an installation that can be demonstrated at various exhibitions and events, hi-news.ru reports. The short work "Carne y Arena" is called, and the main subjects of it were immigrants and refugees with their difficult fates and broken lives. And the Oscar will be awarded to the director in a special nomination "in recognition of the powerful visionary experience in the narrative."
