Harking back to the actor’s famed Batman filmography, this revelatory role is more than meets the eye! Following this much-laurelled turn, Iñárritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkiteamed up again for The Revenant (2015), a grueling yet mesmerizing odyssey across snow-capped, perilous landscapes, shot entirely with natural light. Portraying the stranger-than-fiction ordeals endured by a real-life frontiersman who fought both human and savage beasts, Leonardo DiCaprio won his coveted first Oscar® to a standing ovation. Whether under the burning stage lights or out in the wilderness, these enthralling portraits of masculinity and mortality are, at heart, tales of survival against all odds.
