Revenant

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2016)

A revenant is a person who comes back...and that is exactly what the director is..a person who has come back and equaled...almost..the brilliance of Birdman..
This is the movie that Tarantino would love to be able to make.
For starter you will never ever see a more well directed movie..the camera work is again stunning..taking in the far away beauty of nature right up to the close up of mans grief.
The bear scene was like no other I have seen..and the violence..very short..but very violent ..was added as a matter of fact..not slowly added to increase tension..it was there then gone..as violence is..from nowhere then gone.
De Caprio will of course win an Oscar and so will direction..maybe camera work and costume also..if not..there is a problem.
Masterfully crafted into an experience more than a movie and with exactly the right amount of dialogue..this treasure will,like Birdman,push other directors to better themselves and that is good for the movies.
Only down for me was Tom Hardy..who , while OK..has not got enough experience to carry a role yet ..he is always himself and needs a few more years to hone his roles.
Gave it a 9 ..gave Birdman a 10 as i feel the lack of script between actors here was not as good as the latter.
Amazing experience at the theatre....
