The Lone Ranger in 35mm
The Lone Ranger in 35mm
Equal parts revisionist Western and meta commentary, Gore Verbinski’s reimagining of The Lone Ranger turns the beloved franchise inside out to reconsider the very idea of the Western itself. Notable for its massive scale, 2013’s The Lone Ranger returns to the building blocks of the genre, reconsidering everything from the absurdities of law enforcement on stolen land to the atrocities committed against Native Americans, all in an effort to look past American self-mythology to the hard truths it has eclipsed. Nominated for Makeup and Hairstyling and Visual Effects, Verbinski’s ambitious epic looks back to the horizon and questions if it was all worth it.
