| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Out of Africa |
|---|
A beautifully directed movie about the interaction of two independent individuals learning to exist within the boundaries of a new country and a new love. Won multiple Academy Awards in 1985, and a definite must see for anyone with an interest in African culture, difficult love, or film technique.
