The Revenant (2015)

Watched on an airplane, notes from phone.

The director of Bardo directs Leonardo DiCaprio in a slow Dead Man revenge story with a bit of Takeshi Miike inspiration. Leo, an Old West fur trader out hunting animals for their skins and hiding from native americans on a warpath, is significantly perforated by a bear. He ends up mostly-paralyzed while the world around him gets dangerous. His half-native son is murdered by a double-crossing somewhat-racist coworker.

They leave Leo for dead, but dead he is not. He gets a bit better, and sleeps in a horse corpse like it's some sort of Hothian tauntaun. He hangs out with a Nobody-wannabe for a scene. He crawls across the the whole forest to dramatically duel with the fur trader who killed his son.

Every once in a while, a parade of natives stampede by and remove a bunch of scalps. In the end, when they parade by Leo's battered body, they ignore him and his scalp.

Pretty good, but I'd rather be watching Birdman or Dead Man (or maybe Batman).
