Review

Put aside whatever preconceptions you may have about a two-and-a-half hour period prison story, for The Shawshank Redemption is not only emotionally moving but one of the best films of its year. Adapted from a Stephen King novella, this is the story of Andy Dufresne (Robbins), a banker given life imprisonment for the murder of his wife. Sentenced to Shawshank Prison, Andy is brutalized regularly when not staying to himself. Life turns around for him when he befriends Red (Oscar nominee Freeman), a lifer with connections, and becomes financial broker for the crooked warden and his guards. As Andy serves his life sentence, he manages to sustain a hopefulness which affects the other prisoners as well. Director Darabont makes a very assured feature debut, the cinematography and other technical aspects are first-rate, and the ensemble is remarkable.
