Next up; (Patreon)

Next up is The Revenant! This film has been on my mind for a long time and I believe I have finally found an interesting angle that hasn't really been discussed all that much based on the other video essays I've watched about it. Following Iñárritu’s 'magical realism' filmmaking style, I want to explore it on a metaphorical level as a story about a soul's odyssey through a purgatory ruled by foreign gods, and examine what this reveals about the relation between Europe and the New World, and more fundamentally; between man and nature.
