Nature vs. Nolte in A Walk in the Woods
Film-review-1
Robert Redford and Nick Nolte in “A Walk in the Woods,” now in theaters.
In the wake of “Wild,” in which Reese Witherspoon’s version of Cheryl Strayed hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and reckoned with her demons, we now have “Mild,” better known as “A Walk in the Woods.” It stars Robert Redford and Nick Nolte as travel writer Bill Bryson and his buddy, fictionalized by Bryson as “Stephen Katz,” having a go at the Appalachian Trail for a little light banter and a casual insight or two regarding life’s highways. The project grew out of Bryson’s 1998 book.
