Description
A romantic drama based on the life story of Karen Blixen became the most popular film of its time. The film, directed by Academy Award® winner Sydney Pollack, brilliantly captures the era and environment in which it takes place, offering outstanding performances by Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, and Klaus Maria Brandauer, as well as beautiful cinematography and plenty of lovely music. Out of Africa follows the life of Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep), a woman with an incredibly strong will, who moves from Denmark to Kenya around 1914 with her unfaithful husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer) to run a coffee plantation. To her astonishment, she soon discovers that she has fallen in love not only with her new home and the local people but also with a mysterious British adventurer and idealist (Robert Redford). Out of Africa, which won seven Academy Awards® including Best Picture, is masterfully made and offers one of the greatest stories in the history of cinema.
