Rating: 4.5/5
Duration: 2h 41min
From the onset sequence, the captivating narrator combined with the beautiful plains of Africa creates a magical effect. This is perhaps the finest treatement of romance and adventure I have ever seen. The game (animals outside the zoo), skillful aerial shots and the sheer beauty of wild Africa is ravishing. The location, shooting and the natives provide a realistic treatment for an autobiography belonging to the colonial days in East Africa. The story, the moral of it, is powerfully resonating with the modern day feminist cause. Karen (heroine: Meryl Streep) is a girl who took her rights and kept her clothes on! Now that'll be a news to many "liberal" feminists in Pakistan. Meryl Streep and Robert Redford do their role convincingly. I didn't really mind the long duration and rather enjoyed the easy pace as the story unfolded. Oh and Out of africa won 7 Oscar awards too!
