Editorial Review:

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.

Amazon.com essential video:
Sydney Pollack's 1985 multiple-Oscar winner is a sumptuous and emotionally satisfying film about the life of Danish writer Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep), better known as Isak Dinesen, who travels to Kenya to be with her German husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer) but falls for an English adventurer (Robert Redford). The film is slow in developing the relationship, but it is rich in beautiful images of Africa and in the romantic tone surrounding Blixen's gradual discovery of her life and voice. One downside: while we may all love Redford, he is as convincingly British as Kevin Costner is in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. --Tom Keogh

- Still a winner after all these years
I WATCHED "OUT OF AFRICA", SHORTLY AFTER IT FIRST CAME OUT YEARS AGO. IT IS STILL AN AWARD WINNER IN MY OPINION. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED SEEING IT AGAIN.

The DVD arrived within the week of ordering on line . My husband & I love this movie we watched it together at home thirteen years ago, when we started dating and had a hard time finding it at our local stores so we looked on amazon.com and found it.

- Hard to believe it is 23 years old...
I first saw this film in the theatre at age 20, and knew even then that I was onto something great. I've since owned it on VHS and now DVD, and the film just gets better with age and repeated viewings. The casting, the script and the chemistry all tell a great tale of love, romance and adventure. The subtle one-liners also add some humor at unexpected moments. Absolutely timeless.
