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 frames.

This is also one of the best screen adaptations of a book ever.
