The Revenant The Revenant, 11pm, ITV4, Monday, May 23
The weather may be warming up but this tale of a frontiersman bent on vengeance thrusts us back into a bleak midwinter. Even the name of Leonardo DiCaprio's character - Hugh Glass - suggests it might well shatter in the cold. Alejandro González Iñárritu's film excels in its action sequences, in particular, Glass's mauling, visceral encounter with a bear, which will set in motion his revenge mission against bad guy John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). DiCaprio deservingly won an Oscar for his role - something he certainly went the extra mile for, even eating raw bison liver despite being veggie (he reportedly said at the time that "the bad part is the membrane around it"). Although the film relies to a degree on stereotypes, it gets hold of you with an icy grip that's hard to shake.
Hobson's Choice, 3.50pm, Tuesday, Talking Pictures TV
The passing.
