Where the Wild Things Are
26 July 2011
Beautiful film that tells a heartfelt resurrection story with Kevin Costner doing magnificent work behind and before the camera. His performance is his career best as it slowly shows his progression from being a Civil War soldier to becoming a Native Indian. Sadly it has become undeservedly bashed throughout latter years, without no particularly good reason, as the film was somewhat revolutionary in its time and tells a simple, square story that holds a fine pace and precision. Great cinematography shows some stunning North American landscape and is brilliantly accompanied by John Barry's soundtrack that undermines the political aspects, the loving relationships and the quest for soul.
