Product Description

 
Adapted from Isak Dinesen's novel, OUT OF AFRICA, this film plaintively tells the story of two troubled adults who meet and fall in love in the African wilderness. Karen Blixen-Flecke (Meryl Streep) is a modern woman, caught in the shortcomings of a practical marriage. Finch Hatton (Robert Redford) is a gallant British hunter, lonely, but unable to commit. As they two meet and begin a torrid affair, they set out on an epic adventure in the badlands of Africa--an adventure that real-life Karen Blixen-Flecke would later novelize under the pen name Isak Dinesen.

Sydney Pollack's opus, OUT OF AFRICA, is a full, visually compelling film. Its storyline evokes a plethora of emotions, ranging from fear and loathing to hope and the elation of love. Robert Redford and Meryl Streep are electric as the two damaged infidels in love. A key American film, OUT OF AFRICA is not to be missed.

Out of Africa - Casting Questionable But Still a Stunning Picture

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Out of Africa is a beautiful picture that still is a great film to view despite one of the leads being miscast.
Review: Let me state upfront that I love Robert Redford. I adore him and find him to be wonderful in just about every film I've seen him in. However, as a charismatic ladies man at the turn of the 20th century in Africa, he just didn't convince me.

Blah, Despite The Scenery, "Out Of Africa" Is Hardly An Engaging Film.

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: Filmed beautifully and not lacking in the occasional charms, "Out Of Africa" is a film that relies too much on style over substance to entertain.
Review: To be fair at the outset to "Out Of Africa," the film's status as a winner of Best Picture has long been in dispute by me (from well before I saw it) for no other reason than my favorite film of all time was released the same year and was not even...

Flawed Love Story, Panoramic Views, Too Long and Slow

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2009
The Bottom Line: Klaus Maria Brandauer, Robert Redford and Meryl Streep carry this heavy burden fairly well, but the story has serious flaws 
Review: Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa suffers from the same illness as David Lean's Dr. Zhivago:  it drags on for several hours, with the story frequently set aside in favor of asides. 

Not surprisingly, the film won Oscars for Best Picture,...
