mind-blowing cinematography

I find this is one of the best films ever shot in Africa. The landscapes are simply awesome and mind-blowing.

This isn’t the only reason the film won an Oscar for Best Picture. Meryl Streep and Robert Redford’s performances are simply amazing and unforgettable.

The true gems though are Sydney Pollack’s direction and cinematographer David Watkin’s marvelous fra... read more

A classic

The first time I saw it was like 15 years ago, so it was time for a re-watch. I thought it was pretty good. It is one of those great romantic epic and it also works as an impressive love letter to Africa. Honestly, I usually wouldn't care for such characters but Meryl Streep and Robert Redford both give such amazing perfomance, they completely fit the parts and definitely swept me away.

"Maybe the problem of the pacing is simply the nature of the beast these days with expensive period pieces. Once the difficult details are all in place, it may be too much to expect a director to resist milking every scene for more than it's worth. - Joe Bigelow, Variety With the exception of Miss Streep's performance, the pleasures of Out of Africa are all peripheral -- David Watkin's photography, the landscapes, the shots of animal life -all of which would fit neatly into a National Geographi"

"What Should Have Won? The Color Purple or the un-nominated Brazil or Ran My Thoughts - I liked the score and cinematography. But the film is slow-paced, soapy, and underwhelming."
