Filming in the harsh wilderness for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s survival epic proved to be a gruelling experience for cast and crew alike. Leonardo DiCaprio endured subzero temperatures, ate raw bison liver, and waded through icy rivers in order to capture the film’s authenticity. The decision to use only natural light further extended the shoot, thus testing everyone’s endurance. Crew members reportedly quit due to the extreme conditions, but the finished product earned widespread acclaim, including an Oscar for DiCaprio.
