Leonardo DiCaprio Alejandro González Iñárritu The Revenant

The Revenant Making of Documentary. The making of The Revenant documentary, which delves into the film currently seating at the top of the box office, has been released. This movie featurette entitled ‘A World Unseen’ is a lengthy behind-the-scenes look at the making of Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s film, reaching the 44:25-minute mark. The film featured many terrific moments, many that evolved unique shoots and the use of some CGI mixed with practical affects. The director of the documentary is Eliot Rausch, who captures Iñárritu’s directing process (how he orchestrated and achieved certain shots) as well as how the actors on-set dealt with the elements (the snow, cold, and aggressive locations), key characters in the film.

The viewer, from watching this featurette, truly sees the depth to which the film’s creators went into for this film to make it as authentic to the time period and the people (dialects, religious beliefs, etc.) as possible.
