![]() ![]() ![]() They establish a farm with Karen's money, and Karen soon discovers that her husband has very little interest in either her or the farm. ![]() Karen's ( Meryl Streep) family has money, and Baron Bror Blixen's ( Klaus Maria Brandauer) family has a title and prestige, so Karen leaves her home in Denmark to marry Bror in Kenya. The story begins in 1913, with a marriage of convenience. The sounds, sights and smells of Africa never leave you, and movies like this bring some of the amazing sights and sounds of Africa flooding into the home-theatre (or living room). I vividly recall sleeping in a tent and hearing the cackle of hyenas, or the moaning, guttural growl of a lion at night - so full of yearning - or wandering through a thicket, and into a clearing, only to come across a zebra, a giraffe or a cape buffalo. I have returned a few times, and enjoyed safaris through South Africa, and up the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. I was born in South Africa, and I have always held a fascination for the amazing and varied people, fauna, and flora of Africa. I own a copy of the book, and find that Blixen effortlessly casts a spell over the reader, as the wonderful images of an idealised Africa pour from the pages. The movie Out Of Africa is based on the book of the same name, which contains the memoirs of Karen Blixen ( Isak Dinesen is her pen-name). On the whole, it remains an expertly-crafted, wonderful movie, and arguably, one of the greatest epic romantic movies ever made. The story is thoroughly absorbing, the cinematography (largely shot on location in Kenya) is breathtakingly beautiful, and the acting and direction is sublime. Out Of Africa is an intoxicating and enchanting movie.
