For the first retrospective of 2019, I wanted to take the Aftertaste into realms it hadn’t been in. Yes we have covered a variety of franchises and film series. But one thing we haven’t done is focus on the resume of one filmmaker and one filmmaker only. Who better to do this with than the master of the ‘ultimate man film’, Michael Mann. With a wide variety of films and a meticulous style that has attempted to be replicated but has never been duplicated, Mann presents quite a set of films to look at. In order to do so, we once again brought in Michael Guarnieri from the Hannibal Lecter Retrospective to do what he had originally contacted me to do to begin with. A Michael Mann Retrospective.
After The Keep and Manhunter failed to make a splash at the box office, Michael Mann was in need of a hit. He decided at that time TV was where his real freedom lie. He helped watch over Miami Vice, a TV show that would overcome our living rooms with style and overlay what little substance there was with a lot of posturing.
Then in 1992, the idea to remake one of his favorite childhood films came to his head. With new Oscar winner (for My Left Foot) Daniel Day Lewis in the lead and the way Dances With Wolves took that same awards show by storm as proof that it was viable with audiences, Mann had all the studio backing he needed to make The Last of the Mohicans.
Join myself, Matt, and Mike as we dissect one of Michael Mann’s most beloved films, and come back Friday as we take a look at his other major hit, Heat,
The Last of the Mohicans (1992) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10)
