THERE’S a tense scene in the 1992 version of The Last of the Mohicans where a waterfall becomes a central if not dominant character for a few decisive scenes. A young Daniel-Day Lewis — bristling like a landmine with charisma, so smouldering and indefatigable that he makes Sunday nights’ Lazarus Poldark look like a pasty also-ran in an under-12 Feis competition — plays the rescuing angel Hawkeye.

Daniel-Day Lewis, who is known for choosing his projects with the utmost care, has decided to team up with his wife, Rebecca Miller, for his next film, according to the Daily Variety.
