Let’s dive back into Montana, wild and untamed, at the beginning of the 20th century. Not the Montana of Hollywood westerns, but this majestic territory where nature, both beautiful and cruel, shapes destinies. It is in a vibrant and flamboyant setting that takes place Legends of Autumn (1994)a family drama tinged with lyricism and nostalgia and above all embodied by an incandescent Brad Pitt.
Here, memories flow like the turbulent waters of a flooded river. We move in and out of the lives of the Ludlows, a family united and torn apart by passions, war and the weight of destiny. Director Edward Zwick films nature as a character in its own right. The wide open spaces, rushing rivers, and lush green forests are enhanced by the work of cinematographer John Toll, who won an Oscar for his work on this film. And the late James Horner above all delivers one of his most moving scores, both grandiose and heartbreaking, like an echo of his tragic death.
