Jeremiah Johnson
2015 Chaplin Award: Robert Redford
April 24 - 27, 2015
In one of his most commanding performances, Redford plays a 19th-century mountain man pitted against Native Americans, rival trappers, and unforgiving winters in his quest for solitude and peace in the wilderness.
Redford’s second (after This Property Is Condemned) of seven collaborations with director Sydney Pollack offers one of his most commanding performances, as a 19th-century mountain man seeking solitude in the Rockies after the Mexican War. The peaceable Johnson finds himself pitted against hostile Native Americans, rival trappers, and unforgiving winters. Originally conceived as a Sam Peckinpah–Clint Eastwood vehicle, the project appealed to outdoorsman Redford, who performed his own stunts and scouted locations in his real-life Utah backyard—some of which had only been traversed by frontiersmen. Co-written by John Milius (Apocalypse Now), and featuring a scene-stealing turn by Will Geer as a hermit.
