Jeremiah Johnson an eye-opener
By Alex Strachan, Postmedia News January 29, 2011
There are moments of genuine emotional majesty in Jeremiah Johnson, a relatively little-known 1972 American western directed by then relative unknown Sydney Pollack and starring a young Robert Redford. Redford plays the title character, a jaded veteran of the 1846-48 U.S.-Mexican War who seeks solace and refuge by becoming a recluse in the Rocky Mountains, sustaining himself as a fur trapper and occasional guide-for-hire through the snow-choked mountain passes.
