The Words Beneath the Rocks: Robert Redford’s A River Runs Through It
Robert Redford’s 1992 film adaptation of Norman Maclean’s 1976 novella, A River Runs Through It, is a cinematic work of literary interpretation. Redford takes no serious departures from the text, allowing the narrator’s authorial voice to animate the work. The film, like the book, is a family story about life.
