DVD Reviews of I Dreamed of AfricaDVD Review: Good moving, very moving. Summary: 5 StarsI purchased this movie at a recommendation from my sister. Not being a Kim Basinger fan, I must admit that this movie is by-far one of the best performances of her career (my opinion). It was a very good movie and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good drama.
DVD Review: I dreamed of Africa review Summary: 4 StarsThe movie has an inspirational tone and it tells a good story. Kuki Gallmann is a model for those of us who love Africa. She succeeded despite having to pay a very high price. And she never gave up on her dream. She did not run after Kenya claimed the life of her husband and son. When watching the movie, I sincerely realized, one more time, how lucky I really am.
Moreover, the movie raises awareness with respect to some of the pressing current events and challenges the Kenyan state faces: violence, poaching and lack of personal safety.

DVD Review: Excellent! Summary: 5 StarsMy product arrived fast/on time. The DVD is in excellent condition, and the price was very reasonable.
DVD Review: Very Dramatic Summary: 4 StarsA good look at Africa, but a hard, dramatic story line. I will only watch it once!
Description of I Dreamed of AfricaTHE POWER OF A WOMAN'S SPIRIT AND THE LOVE FOR HER ADOPTEDHOMELAND ENABLE HER TO OVERCOME PERSONAL TRAGEDY. AS A CHILD, KUKI DISCOVERED THE MAGIC OF AFRICA. AS AN ADULT, SHE MOVES THERE WITH HER FAMILY. ALTHOUGH IT'S THE PLACE SHE WAITED FOR ALL HER LIFE, SHE NEVER DREAMED OF THE PAIN AND HARDSHIP. Based on the memoirs of party-girl-turned-conservationist Kuki Gallman, I Dreamed of Africa never comes close to living up to its title; the mood is more prosaic travelogue than oneiric wonderment. After a car accident warns Kuki of her mortality, she resolves to grow up, a process that mysteriously involves marrying a man she barely knows and moving with him and her young son to the wilds of South Africa. There she learns new beau Paolo is less reliable than she thought, but also that the sun-baked plains and roaming beasts of Africa speak to her in a way the nightlife of Italy did not. (We learn of her blossoming humanity because she introduces herself to the servants; a probing study of interpersonal relationships this isn't.) Kim Basinger obviously feels connected to the role--she can stride across a room with a majestic self-righteousness that the film should have drawn upon more--but she's defeated by a script composed of repetitive vignettes that have no cumulative effect and a director (Hugh Hudson) who keeps the film's emotional impact curiously flat and diffuse except for the crass, manipulative moments every 20 minutes or so. Sure the photography's lovely, but really, how hard is it to get a nice shot of flamingoes at dawn? --Bruce Reid
