The Revenant

A monumental, towering achievement of odds-defying cinematic ambition. Human beings venturing into earths harshest elements in pursuit of a singular, once in a generation artistic endeavour—say what you will about Iñárritus overly indulgent approach, but if you don’t respect that then what do you stand for? What are you seeking to find in the medium if not the works of those daring to capture the unthinkable? Images and story’s that will be immortalised among our boldest efforts. Those that laugh at the relentless dedication to authenticity displayed here are the first to complain about cop out methods used elsewhere. From my first watch a decade ago to now, The Revenant continues to resonate down to my very core.
