Denys

Portrait of Robert Redford in another iconic role as Denys George Finch Hatton from Sydney Pollack’s masterpiece, “Out of Africa“, released in 1985. A while back, I read an article that asked why anyone would rewatch this film and I was astounded as to why you would not. It is a sweeping love story filled with sorrow and tragedy by one of our world’s great authors and brought to live with some of the greatest actors in the history of cinema. This is a small homage to Mr. Pollack.
