While I like Birdman okay—I certainly
don’t worship it as a game-changing cinematic revelation like some, nor do I
think it is total pretentious garbage like others; the truth, for me anyway,
lies somewhere in the middle—I’m 100%, totally and completely on board with
director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s next film, the old-timey revenge western
The Revenant. And as if I needed another reason to drool
over this picture, there’s a brand new trailer out, and yes, it still looks
amazing.
Great cast, great director, one of the best cinematographers
working today, grim setting, avenging a dead son, Leonardo DiCaprio fighting a
bear, what the hell else could you possibly want out of a movie?
Here’s the synopsis:
Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT is an immersive and visceral cinematic experience capturing one man’s epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption.
The Revenant opens on Christmas Day.
Going to be a bummer of a holiday indeed.
