Alejandro Iñarritu’s The Revenant incorporates a range of spectacular landscapes into its story, making the movie’s locations a crucial element.
Alejandro Iñarritu’s acclaimed 2015 neo-Western The Revenant relies on its use of incredible real landscapes to succeed, making the movie’s choice of filming locations central to the project. Famously featuring some of the most grueling scenes of star Leonardo DiCaprio’s career, the movie is set in the American frontier in the early 19th century. Given its place in American history, as well as the content of its story, showing nature at its wildest and most dangerous was a key theme throughout The Revenant, necessitating the use of some incredibly remote and challenging filming locations.
Partially based on a true story, The Revenant tells the story of frontiersman Hugh Glass. Although the film takes some liberties with established fact, it largely follows Glass’ account of being attacked by a bear in the wilderness, being abandoned by his companions, before miraculously surviving the elements and hostile Arikara to exact his revenge on those who left him behind. In order to fully emphasize the scale of Glass’s accomplishment and recapture the feel of the wild frontier., it was necessary for The Revenant to incorporate some of the most stunning yet austere environments to be found anywhere.
