1. The Revenant
The Revenant is as much a story about survival as it is about vengeance. There is deep philosophical subtext to Iñárritu’s use of nature in this film. Nature here almost doubles as God. The Native Americans are probably his arch angels. Vengeance is for the creator according to this film and other beliefs. The film is simply engaging in that way demanding multiple viewings not just because of Iñárritu’s storytelling but pure ambitious breathtaking craft.
