The Legend of Bagger Vance

The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000) is a drama with a touch of fable that you can watch online on iFILM. Robert Redford directs, working from Steven Pressfield's novel, and sets the story in Depression-era Savannah, where a once-brilliant golfer comes home from the war a broken man.

Rannulph Junuh, played by Matt Damon, was the pride of the city until World War I took both his nerve and his flawless swing. He drinks now and hides from the past. To rescue the failing golf course of his old sweetheart Adele, played by Charlize Theron, Junuh agrees to face two legends of the game in an exhibition match. Then a mysterious caddy named Bagger Vance, played by Will Smith, turns up one night offering to fix more than his grip.

Redford films golf as a quiet conversation about finding your own place in the world, with a young Jack Lemmon framing it all as the narrator. It is a warm, unhurried picture for anyone who cares less about the score than the person holding the club. Stream The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000) online on iFILM.
