## Description

The most acclaimed motion picture of 1985 stars Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in one of the screen's great epic romances. Directed by Oscar® winner Sydney Pollack, Out of Africa is the fascinating true story of Karen Blixen, a strong-willed woman who, with her philandering husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer), runs a coffee plantation in Kenya, circa 1914. To her astonishment, she soon discovers herself falling in love with the land, its people and a mysterious white hunter (Redford). The masterfully crafted, breathtakingly produced story of love and loss earned Oscars® for Best Picture, Director, Screenplay (based on material from another medium), Cinematography, Original Score, Art Direction (Set Decoration) and Sound.Bonus Content:Song of AfricaFeature Commentary with Director Sydney PollackTheatrical Trailer

Review: "Out of Africa" is a glorious (adult) film - This was a well acted film about Karen Blix. I have viewed it a few times, and now own my video copy, and still have both my VHS film player, as well as my DVD player. One can view this now, online, but , it is a good idea to have a DVD copy. The heroine was a real person, from Denmark; and, I really have always enjoyed Biographies about famous people and their own accounts and adventures. The film is Meryl Streep and Robert Redford at their best. There is, a huge amount of artistic licence in this film, as well as political licence, but, it is very entertaining! A real must to follow and even can be viewed several times, without boredom! I think it is a classic . . . (the style of films, was, unfortunately, in the USA, in the 1980 's, more explicit than I would have wanted for very young people, and I am prudent, because, for my beliefs, "purity" is important in Heaven ! Jesus Christ loathes impurity . . . However, for "adult" viewers, and married people, it is a really enjoyable film !
Review: Absolutely stunning transfer - I saw this movie on its original theatrical release and was utterly blown away, it deserved every Oscar it won; over the years I've owned this movie in multiple formats, VHS, DVD, Bluray and now 4K. None of these formats provided the visual grandeur of the film experience until the 4K release; this transfer is absolutely spectacular! The colors are saturated, the images crystal clear and the soundtrack is perfectly mixed; this transfer truly brings the magic of the theatrical film to home theaters. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I had a farm in Africa at the foot of the Ngong Hills…”
*by J***I on December 6, 2021*

I had my “African period” once, when it was so near. Five years, 1979-84, and save for a month in Morocco (which some might say does not count) in 1990, I have not been back…save by books. More recently I’ve read books by Africans themselves, like Moses Isegawa and Alain Mabanckou. In the “African period” I read mainly books by those of European descent. There were those by males, Alan Paton, Ryszard Kapuscinski and Ernest Hemingway. It was three women however who helped put the “awe” into my appreciation for Africa. Each got some dirt under their fingernails – they were farmers. Each inspired visits with words of their experiences. Olive Schreiner wrote “The Story of an African Farm.” Elspeth Huxley wrote “The Flame Trees of Thika.” And Karen Blixen, under the pen name, Isak Dinesen, wrote “Out of Africa,” which was first published in 1937 and commenced with the subject line. Sidney Pollack directed the movie, which was released in 1985. Two big-named Hollywood stars, Meryl Streep, who played Baroness Blixen and Robert Redford, with his perpetually perplexed expression, played the independent English hunter, Denys Finch Hatton, who would eventually become the paramour of Blixen. Klaus Maria Brandauer, played Blixen’s philandering husband, who gifted her with some syphilis, back in the pre-antibiotic days when the poison, mercury, was the treatment, which worked in Blixen’s case. The two were eventually divorced. And Africa, well, it played itself and Pollack has his camerapersons reinforce the “awe.” Can watching a movie that sorta glorified the colonial period be “politically correct” nowadays? Well, at one level, I don’t care, but I think that Pollack did a good job of showing a lot of the warts, shorn of the glory. Blixen, for example, is not allowed into the men’s only club. And as she must have done in real life, she did go to considerable lengths to ensure that the natives were given a better deal, on land that was once theirs, as she dramatically states on her knees. I liked watching the interactions between Streep and Redford, depicting relationships from the days when, as Bob Dylan once sung, in “Tom Thumb’s Blues”: “And you try not to go to her too soon.” Best to make sure you wait at least an hour, sometimes a metaphorical one. And I loved the scene of confrontation between Blixen’s husband and Denys when the former said: “You might have asked, Denys.” Redford comes back with: “I did, and she said Yes.” Furthering the realism, shorn of the glory, as Marguerite Duras attested, in far off Indochine, many colonists were far from wealthy and lead rather hardscrabble existences. The one off-note in the film was the impressive stone home the Blixens lived in, almost certainly much better than the initial homes built before 1913. As Huxley says of her experience: we built a house of grass and ate off a damask cloth spread between packing cases. As for Blixen, assorted disasters on the farm eventually forced her to return to Denmark, in 1931, destitute. A good movie that evoked a bit of nostalgia for my own experiences of four decades ago, and a yearning to return to the continent. Algeria might be a good start, even though some might say that doesn’t count either. 5-stars for Africa, the awe, and a couple very good actors.
