A River Runs Through It (1992)

For anyone who has loved a sibling they could not save. Robert Redford's Montana film follows the minister's sons, steady Norman (Craig Sheffer) and gifted, reckless Paul (Brad Pitt), whose shared language is fly fishing on the Big Blackfoot River. The fly-casting scenes are gorgeous, but the real subject is the gap between brothers who understand each other completely and still cannot reach each other. Gentle, elegiac and quietly sad rather than melodramatic.
