'Birdman'
Writers: Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Armando Bo, Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolas Gambone
Release Date: 1st January 2015
Hot Rating: 💥💥💥💥
At the news that director, Alejandro Iñárritu, intended for 'Birdman' to appear as one take, one may expect a film that is two parts technical to one emotional. While the premise of this cinematic imbalance pervaded the little criticism of the film, it is hard to ignore the Emmanuel Lubezki's divine camera work, which functions as an emotional lens for the forceful tragedy that is Riggan's (Michael Keaton) life. In some parts reminiscent of Keaton's own comeback performance in this role, to which sees him get a deserved Oscar nod for best actor, our protagonist is never shy of proving his presence, to which the superb supporting roles of Mike (Edward Norton) and Sam (Emma Stone) elevate the satire of the film's drama; it is rare to see this vague theme tackled in such a stimulating way. From this cinematic experience, the film successfully immerses audiences, both emotionally and visually.
'The Revenant'
Writers: Mark L. Smith, Alejandro Iñárritu and Micahel Punke (based in part on the novel by)
Release Date: 15th January 2016
Hot Rating: 💥💥💥💥
In Alejandro Iñárritu's follow up to the superb experience of 'Birdman', the Mexican director lands himself another well-deserved directing Oscar as he navigates Leonardo Dicaprio (Hugh Glass) through the treacherous American frontier on a journey of betrayal, determination and, ultimately, survival. With the visual aid of Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, Iñárritu conjures visceral landscapes that symbolise the intensity of our protagonist's journey. Of this brutal environment, Inarritu's humility is somewhat overthrust at the expense of characters who come to be significantly unsympathetic. The film's score is a bold accompaniment, yet with equally alienating effects. This feature is not to underappreciate the dastardly actions of antagonist John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), nor even the portrayal of his aggression, but rather to note that we lose sight of his intentions. While visually struck by the beauty surrounding the narrative, we are as sometimes as emotionally lost as the frontiersman who leads this tale.
