RIP Redford: The Old Man and the Gun
Cinema Forum Groningen
Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenRobert Redford bids a spellbinding farewell to the silver screen in this charming and melancholic crime comedy, which became his last major role. Following his recent passing, the film takes on an added significance: a warm tribute to one of Hollywood's greatest icons.
Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford) is a seasoned bank robber who never seems to get caught. Even in his old age, he continues to live a life full of excitement, humour and unexpected encounters. His heart beats not only for the art of stealing, but also for love, when he embarks on an unexpected romance.
Redford shines and brings Forrest to life with a mix of charm, melancholy and quirky bravado. The Old Man & the Gun is an ode to the craftsmanship, perseverance and humanity of a man who follows his own rules.
