The Revenant is a 2015 epic western biographical film directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu set in 1823 Montana and South Dakota, which was inspired by the experiences of frontiersman and fur trapper Hugh Glass. The screenplay was written by Mark L. Smith and Iñárritu, based in part on Michael Punke's The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Will Poulter, and Domhnall Gleeson.[4]

Development of the film began in August 2001 when Akiva Goldsman purchased Punke's manuscript with the intent to produce the film. The film was originally set to be directed by Park Chan-wook with Samuel L. Jackson in mind to star, and later by John Hillcoat with Christian Bale in negotiations to star. Both directors left the project, and Iñárritu signed on to direct in August 2011. In April 2014, after several delays in production due to other projects, Iñárritu confirmed that he was beginning work on The Revenant and that DiCaprio would play the lead role. It is the second on-screen collaboration of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy (the first being Inception). Principal photography began in October 2014; delays associated with location and crew challenges resulted in its end date moving from May to August 2015.

The Revenant premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on December 16, 2015 and had a limited release on December 25, 2015, to be followed by a wide release on January 8, 2016.

Plot

In 1823, a quasi-military hunting party of trappers and hunters are hunting for pelts in the unsettled wilderness of the Louisiana Purchase under the command of their Captain Andrew Henry. Hostility from the Native American Arikara Indians leads to an ambush of the hunting party. Only about half of the hunters manage to escape on one of their rafts, salvaging as much as they can while still under fire from the attacking Arikara.

The escaping hunting party is led by Kostas who knows that they are still being pursued by the Sar Ah. The party is further slowed down when Hugh Glass, one of the experienced hunters, stumbles on a mother grizzly bear and her cubs while he is separated from the rest of the party. He is mauled and seriously wounded by the enraged grizzly wildly protecting her cubs. Although Glass eventually gets off a gunshot and kills the bear with his Bowie knife, he is nearly dead himself and the hunting party can only provide rudimentary medical care. The party takes the wounded Glass with them, but because he is on a makeshift stretcher he slows their march. Finally one of the party, John Fitzgerald, suggests they kill him so they can move faster. Henry initially tries to kill Glass himself but is unable to shoot him even though Glass is so wounded that he cannot even speak or move. Instead, he offers payment for several men to stay behind with Glass. When two boys (Jim Bridger and Glass's son Hawk) volunteer, Fitzgerald points out the likelihood that those boys and Glass will be killed -- leading the boys to decline and the captain to up the reward, so much so that Fitzgerald himself volunteers. The Captain makes Fitzgerald promise he will stay with Glass until he dies and give him a proper burial. Once separated from the main hunting party and alone with Glass, Fitzgerald tries to kill Glass by smothering him, only to have Hawk stumble upon this murder attempt. A struggle ensues and Fitzgerald kills Hawk. When Bridger returns Fitzgerald claims he doesn't know where Hawk is, and then concocts a story that he saw Arikara down by the river and they need to abandon Glass.

Henry and the surviving hunting party are the first to return to their dilapidated barracks outpost, where eventually Fitzgerald and Bridger return. Fitzgerald tells Henry that, despite heroic efforts, they could not save Glass or his son from the elements. Fitzgerald receives a cash reward for his fabricated tale from the unsuspecting Henry. Meanwhile, Glass crawls and struggles to walk through the woods for days. He builds fires and eats roots. He is also tracked by hostile Indians, whose chief is looking for his kidnapped daughter Powaqa. Glass escapes a close encounter with them by floating down rapids. He then encounters a friendly Indian who feeds him raw bison. The two travel for a bit, and the Indian builds Glass a shelter one night during a blizzard. Glass awakes to find the Indian hanged, with a group of French frontiersmen camped nearby. Glass rescues the Arikara Chief's daughter Powaqa from her captors and manages to escape alone by stealing a horse. Afterwards, he again escapes hostile Arikara Indians by jumping off a cliff, which kills the horse and wounds Glass even further. Glass keeps warm for a night inside the body of the dead horse. As the weeks go by, back at the outpost, a desperate lone Frenchman is found carrying Glass's canteen. Most believe the hunter stole it from Hawk not far from camp, so they organize a search party and instead find Glass alive. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald decides to flee from the outpost, after first emptying the outpost's payroll safe to which he has had access, and before Glass can completely discredit Fitzgerald's false heroic claims made previously to Henry.

Glass requests that Henry assign him and only him to bring back Fitzgerald dead or alive, and Henry agrees but goes with Glass. Fitzgerald ambushes Henry and kills him when Glass separated moments earlier. Glass returns to find a deceased Henry after hearing gunshots. He knows Fitzgerald is close. Before Fitzgerald kills Henry he tells him he has a plan, and after shooting Henry, he scalps him to make it appear as if Indians had killed him, which if he could kill Glass as he hoped he would he could divert blame for their deaths off him and onto an Indian tribe. Glass sets an ingenious trap for Fitzgerald by placing Henry upright as a mock heavily-clad dummy rider on a traveling horse dressed in Glass's coat, while simultaneously hiding himself with a loaded gun under the pack blankets on a companion pack horse trailing directly behind acting as the dead Henry. In the wilderness now, Fitzgerald takes the bait and shoots Henry posing as Glass off the horse from a distance. Fitzgerald goes down and checks the body, only to discover it is Henry, not Glass, when Glass suddenly drops out of the pack horse blankets to shoot Fitzgerald, hitting him in the shoulder. Fitzgerald flees with Glass in close pursuit and the two face off on a river bank as Fitzgerald insults Glass and his deceased son. Glass fights with and nearly kills Fitzgerald, but after Fitzgerald taunts him further, Glass remembers advice from the friendly Indian who helped him earlier that only God can claim revenge. He instead pushes the heavily wounded Fitzgerald down-stream and into the hands of the approaching Arikara. The chief, now accompanied by his daughter Powaqa, kills Fitzgerald. The Arikara who had chased Glass for weeks ride past a weary Glass as the chief's daughter he had freed earlier gives him a nod of gratitude. As the film ends, Glass continues to have flashbacks about his deceased wife and his deceased son, which have haunted him throughout the film, even after his culminating revenge on Fitzgerald has been completed.

Development and financing

Development of The Revenant began in August 2001, with producer Akiva Goldsman acquiring the rights to Michael Punke's unpublished manuscript for The Revenant.[12] David Rabe had written the film's script.[13] The production was picked up by Park Chan-wook, with Samuel L. Jackson in mind to star. Park later left the project.[14][15] The development stalled until 2010, when Mark L. Smith wrote a new adaptation of the novel for Steve Golin's Anonymous Content. In May 2010, Smith revealed that John Hillcoat was attached to direct the film and that Christian Bale was in negotiations to star.[16] Hillcoat left the project in October 2010.[15] Jean-François Richet was considered to replace him[15] but Alejandro G. Iñárritu signed on to direct in August 2011.[17] Goldsman was also confirmed to be producing with Weed Road Pictures.[17] In November, New Regency Productions joined to produce with Anonymous Content, and 20th Century Fox was confirmed to be distributing the film.[18][19] Days later, Iñárritu stated that he was seeking Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn for the two lead roles.[20]

The film was put on hold in March 2012, as New Regency hired Iñárritu to direct an adaptation of Jennifer Vogel's tome Flim-Flam Man, a non-fiction book about her criminal father.[21] Penn was also under consideration for the lead role in that film.[22] In December, Iñárritu announced that his next film would be Birdman or: (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), a comedy about an actor who once played a famous superhero. Iñarritu won the Oscars for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay and the film won Best Picture. Filming took place in March 2013.[23] Iñárritu was scheduled to begin production on The Revenant after Birdman wrapped.[24]

The film was granted a production budget of $60 million, with $30 million funded by New Regency. Brett Ratner's RatPac-Dune Entertainment also funded the film.[18] Worldview Entertainment was originally set to fund the film[24] but backed out in July 2014 due to the departure of CEO, Christopher Woodrow.[18][25] New Regency approached 20th Century Fox for additional funding, but the company declined, citing the pay-or-play contracts made for both DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, which would require that the actors be paid regardless of whether the film is completed.[25] Annapurna Pictures' Megan Ellison entered negotiations to finance the film shortly after.[18][25]

Filming

Principal photography for The Revenant began in October 2014. Iñárritu was insistent that computer-generated imagery not be used to enhance the film, stating "If we ended up in greenscreen with coffee and everybody having a good time, everybody will be happy, but most likely the film would be a piece of shit."[26] A planned two-week break from filming in December was extended to six weeks (forcing actor Tom Hardy to drop out of another commitment). In February 2015, Iñarritu, who shot the film using natural lighting,[27] stated that production would last "until the end of April or May", as the crew is "shooting in such remote far-away locations that, by the time we arrive and have to return, we have already spent 40% of the day".[4][28] Brad Weston, president and CEO of New Regency Pictures, stated that principal photography had been challenging due to the ambitious nature of the film. Ultimately, principal photography wrapped in August 2015.[29]

The movie was filmed in 12 different locations and three different countries including Canada, United States, Argentina.[30] [31] Specifically, Canadian filming took place in British Columbia and Alberta including Victoria, Fortress mountain, Calgary, Alberta, and at Mammoth Studios in Burnaby, British Columbia.[30] (While the initial plan was to film entirely in Canada, the weather ended up being too warm, leading the filmmakers to locations at the tip of Argentina with snow on the ground, to shoot the film's ending.[26])

Crew members often complained about difficult shoots, with many quitting or getting fired. Mary Parent was then brought in as a producer.[26] Iñárritu stated that some of the members of the crew had left the film, explaining that "as a director, if I identify a violin that is out of tune, I have to take that from the orchestra." On his experience filming, DiCaprio stated: "I can name 30 or 40 sequences that were some of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do. Whether it’s going in and out of frozen rivers, or sleeping in animal carcasses, or what I ate on set. [I was] enduring freezing cold and possible hypothermia constantly."[32][33]

Iñárritu had stated that he originally wanted to shoot the film chronologically, a process that would have added $7 million to the film's production budget.[34] Iñarritu later confirmed that the film was shot in-sequence,[35] despite Tom Hardy's statement that the film could not be shot chronologically, due to weather conditions.[36]

In July 2015, it was reported that the film's budget had ballooned from the original $60 million to $95 million, and by the time production wrapped it had reached $135 million.[2]

Music

The musical score for The Revenant was composed by Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto in collaboration with The National's Bryce Dessner and German electronic musician Alva Noto.[37] The score was performed by the 25-piece Berlin-based orchestra known as "stargaze" under conductor André de Ridder.[38][39] A soundtrack album will be released digitally on December 25, 2015 and on CD on January 8, 2016. Milan Records will release a vinyl pressing of the soundtrack in April 2016.[39]

Writing for New York magazine on December 28, 2015, Justin Davidson compared Sakamoto's score to the contemporaneous score by Ennio Morricone for The Hateful Eight stating: "Inarritu made a completely different choice of composer: Ryuichi Sakamoto, who came to film from a career in experimental electronics... Sakamoto's is the more successful score. Both films slouch toward inevitable spasms of bloodshed, with long pensive stretches in between... Sakamoto slowly progresses through glacial chords that build toward a fortissimo horizon... The score doesn't so much follow the action here as lead it, urging the fighters on, even as it registers their single-minded lunacy."[40]

Release

The film was released in a limited release in the United States on December 25, 2015, making it eligible for the 88th Academy Awards, before being released nationwide on January 8, 2016.[41][42] It is scheduled to open in the UK on January 15, 2016.[43]

Reception

Critical response

The Revenant received critical acclaim from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 82%, based on 109 reviews, with an average rating of 8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "As starkly beautiful as it is harshly uncompromising, The Revenant uses Leonardo DiCaprio's committed performance as fuel for an absorbing drama that offers punishing challenges—and rich rewards."[44] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 75 out of 100, based on the reviews of 36 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[45]

Reviewers cited in a CBS News survey of critics praised DiCaprio for his performance, referring to it as an "astonishing testament to his commitment to a role" and as an "anchoring performance of ferocious 200 percent commitment."[46] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called DiCaprio's acting "a virtuoso performance, thrilling in its brute force and silent eloquence."[47] Writing for NY Magazine/Vulture, David Edelstein called the film a "tour de force" and "[b]leak as hell but considerably more beautiful," but noted the film had "traditional masculinity instead of a search for what illuminates man's inhumanity to man." Justin Chang of Variety wrote Iñárritu "increasingly succumbs to the air of grim overdetermination that has marred much of [his] past work" and it was "an imposing vision...but also an inflated and emotionally stunted one."[46]

  • Moraski, Lauren (December 25, 2015). ""The Revenant" Reviews: What Critics Are Saying About Leonardo DiCaprio's Latest Film". CBS News. Retrieved December 28, 2015. Here's what critics are saying about 'The Revenant': 'DiCaprio's performance is an astonishing testament to his commitment to a role. That's really him plunging into that river. That's him staggering half-naked through the teeth-chattering cold. That's him grabbing a fish out of icy waters and eating it raw." — Soren Anderson, Seattle Times. 'I think "The Revenant" is, on the whole, pain without gain, but it's certainly a tour de force—literally, a feat of strength. DiCaprio, Inarritu, cinematographer Emmanuel 'Chivo' Lubekzi, and their collaborators hauled themselves through the Canadian Rockies and deserve what respect one can muster, although their artistry is finite, a test of will and pyrotechnics and, yes, traditional masculinity instead of a search for what illuminates man's inhumanity to man.' — David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture. 'Few prestige directors have so fully committed to the notion of cinema as an endurance test as Alejandro G. Inarritu, and he pushes himself, the audience and an aggrieved 19th-century frontiersman well beyond their usual limits in "The Revenant." Bleak as hell but considerably more beautiful, this nightmarish plunge into a frigid, forbidding American outback is a movie of pitiless violence, grueling intensity and continually breathtaking imagery, a feat of high-wire filmmaking to surpass even Inarritu and d.p. Emmanuel Lubezki's work on last year's Oscar-winning "Birdman." Yet in attempting to merge a Western revenge thriller, a meditative epic in the Terrence Malick mold, and a lost-in-the-wilderness production of near-Herzogian insanity, "The Revenant" increasingly succumbs to the air of grim overdetermination that has marred much of Inarritu's past work: It's an imposing vision, to be sure, but also an inflated and emotionally stunted one, despite an anchoring performance of ferocious 200 percent commitment from Leonardo DiCaprio.' — Justin Chang, Variety.
