94 - Robert Redford & The American West

Nicholas Ybarra & Bella Efstratis Episode 94

Once again, we are honoring the work of the late, great Robert Redford. This week, we explore Redford’s exploration and appreciation for the gorgeous American West. Not only did he depict this region with beauty in respect and film, he also spent his life protecting it with his environmental activism. 

  • We start with Robert Redford and Paul Newman starring in the shape-shifting classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
  • Second, Redford plays the titular character in the gripping and nuanced Jeremiah Johnson
  • Finally, we dive into on of Redford’s directorial works. He explores the beauty of Montana in A River Runs Through It. 

Let us know what you think of these films and all of Redford’s catalogue. Which Robert Redford film is your favorite?
