DVD Reviews of Out of Africa
DVD Review: DVD - movie/musical
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was excellent and one I will look at again and again. The recording quality of the DVD was excellent.DVD Review: "One Of My Favorites!"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Out Of Africa" has always been one of my all-time favorite films. Rarely has a movie excelled in all components of the cinema, everything from the acting to the direction to the story. Meryl Streep plays a woman named Karen Blixen who marrys a philandering man in Kenya. Soon, Karen falls in love with both the land and a white hunter, played by Robert Redford. The movie depicts Karen's story on running a coffee plantation, the problems she encounters in running her business, and her love affair with this mysterious man who has stolen her heart. "Out Of Africa", based on a true story, swept the 1985 Academy Awards, winning for Best Picture, Best Director for Sydney Pollack, Best Cinematography, Original Score, Art Direction, and Sound. The music to the film is one of the most haunting in film history and adds to the intense drama. Roger Ebert says, "Out Of Africa" is one of the great epic romances". The special edition DVD comes with commentary by Pollack, an original documentary entitled "Song Of Africa", the trailer, and production notes. The film is 2 hours and 41 minutes, and the sound is 4.1. Simply, a perfect movie.DVD Review: BEWARE "anamorphic" pseudo-widescreen (FAKE)
Summary: 2 Stars
"Anamorphic" widescreen? When is a widescreen movie not a widescreen movie? When it's anamorphic, which is a phony, useless imitation of genuine widescreen. If I had realized the phony nature of this print of OoA, I never would have purchased it.
The Song of Africa documentary was OK, though.
DON'T BUY this DVD if you're looking for an image like the one you saw in the theater. You will be as disappointed as I am, which is REALLY disappointed.
DVD Review: Streeps best role

The cd came to me quickly and is in perfect shape. I'll enjoy it for years to come! Thanks!
Description of Out of Africa
The most acclaimed motion picture of 1985 stars Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in one of the screen's great epic romances. Directed by Oscar winner Sydney Pollack, Out of Africa is the fascinating true story of Karen Blixen, a strong-willed woman who, with her philandering husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer), runs a coffee plantation in Kenya, circa 1914. To her astonishment, she soon discovers herself falling in love with the land, its people and a mysterious white hunter (Redford). The masterfully crafted, breathtakingly produced story of love and loss earned Oscars for Best Picture, Director, Screenplay (based on material from another medium), Cinematography, Original Score, Art Direction (Set Decoration) and Sound.Sydney Pollack's 1985 multiple-Oscar winner is a sumptuous andemotionally satisfying film about the life of Danish writer Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep), better known as Isak Dinesen, who travels to Kenya to be with her German husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer) but falls for an English adventurer (Robert Redford). The film is slow in developing the relationship, but it is rich in beautiful images of Africa and in the romantic tone surrounding Blixen's gradual discovery of her life and voice. One downside: while we may all love Redford, he is as convincingly British as Kevin Costner is in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. --Tom Keogh
