The Revenant

The Homesman
DIRECTOR: Tommy Lee Jones CAST: Tommy Lee Jones Hilary Swank Grace Gummer In 2005 actor-turned-director Tommy Lee Jones surprised friend and foe with the surprisingly strong neo-Western The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. The genre suits Jones, so to say, as The Homesman is one of the most interesting films of 2014, and the definitely the best western of 2014 I’ve seen so far. Hillary Swank, in an impressive lead, is Mary Bee Cuddy, a somewhat quaint young unmarried woman who takes the task of escorting three mentally ill women through the vast and dangerous plains to the nearest asylum. Jones himself plays an opportunistic claim jumper who accompanies Marry Bee after a weird twist of faith. The Homesman is stunningly shot and succeeds wonderfully at shifting between hilarious, dark comedy and truly gripping drama. Tommy Lee Jones established himself as one of Hollywood’s most interesting directors with this outstanding feature film. Read more

Django Unchained
DIRECTOR: Quentin Tarantino CAST: Jamie Foxx Christoph Waltz Leonardo DiCaprio The word ‘pastiche’ almost seems to be invented for Quentin Tarantino’s films. Known as a cinephile extraordinaire, he pays homage to dozens of genres, films and directors within his work. But that doesn’t say it’s only a gimmick. Django Unchained is his first proper Western, although many of his earlier films borrowed a fair amount of the genres’ features. (Remember Inglorious Basterds’ brilliant opening scene?) The story is simple. Django is a former slave determined to revenge his former owners and to free his enslaved girlfriend. He’s helped by a peculiar bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz, which is another magnificent (and Academy Award winning role) by Christopher Waltz. Well, it’s not too hard to imagine what great things Tarantino can create with these ingredients. Read more

In 1950 Hollywood produced over a 130 Western films. In 1960 not even 30. The film genre’s popularity decreased, which was largely the result of the rise of the Western TV series like Bonanza, Rawhide, Gunsmoke and The Rifle Man. They kept the audiences away from the cinemas and glued to their tubes. The genre as people knew it became worn out. Then Revisionist Western film makers like Sam Peckinpah and Alejandro Jodorowsky revitalized the genre. Their films didn’t just depict the white men as good and the Indians as evil and challenged the genre’s fixed aesthetics, to put it bluntly.
Some say the Western Film has been dead for quite some time now. That is not true, although, admittedly, pretty much of what happens today is indeed retro and pastiche. Or postmodern if you wish, that obnoxious, inevitable term. Well, what follows are the best Westerns of the 2010’s according to us.
