For Your (Re)Consideration: The Revenant's Question of Savagery Is Eternal

The Revenantmay be destined to be remembered for two milestones: securing Leonardo DiCaprio’s long-overdue Academy Award for Best Actor and Alejandro Iñárritu’s rare feat of winning Best Director in two consecutive years. But it is also the film that ambitiously committed to a punishing realism that left little room for comfort. Humanism, morality, and even narrative momentum are stripped away, leaving survival and visceral revenge as the film’s dominant language.
