One, the narration by Meryl Streep is overdone, and the accent much too thick, something that doesn't match her cadence in the actual film. There's two notable criticisms, however, that stand out for the Oscar winning epic. This keeps the film engaging and enjoyable for its almost three hour run. We can't help but be taken with their dynamics, and with the films backdrop, we are swept up in the sheer gravitas of what's going on. Its cast is an admirable one, with Meryl Streep giving her characteristic powerhouse performance, supported by the talented Robert Redford and even Klaus Maria Brandauer. The film has a lot going for it, notably its absolutely beautiful cinematography, capturing the captivating and epic African wilderness. It is here that she encounters a different sort of way of life, and meets the inevitable swashbuckler, Denys Finch Hatton, an easy man to be enchanted with but a difficult man to love. The film centers on Isak Dinesen, known as Karen Blixen-Flecke, a Danish woman who marries, largely for convenience, her friend Baron Bor Blixen-Flecke, soon embarking to her farm in Africa. A renowned romantic epic of the 80s, Out of Africa is a long, though undoubtedly grand, spectacle.
