Our take

Hollywood can often be resistant to rewarding stars-turned-directors at the Academy Awards, but few could resist the magisterial sweep of Kevin Costner’s sumptuous western. Winner of 7 Oscars®, including Best Picture and Best Director, Dances With Wolves is a thoughtful and sincere revisionist epic.
