Après une déception amoureuse, une jeune aristocrate d’origine danoise gagne le Kenya pour se marier et de s’embarquer pour l’Afrique. Vite délaissée par un mari volage, elle se consacre à la culture des caféiers et fait figure de pionnière dans cette Afrique qu’elle apprend à aimer profondément. Elle fait aussi la rencontre d’un chasseur et aventurier hors du commun… (Ciné Sorbonne)

The accent that Meryl speaks in here is really terrible and I just don't get this American craving for accents. It doesn't matter if she speaks English or weird English, she still speaks English... Robert Redford is classically great, but the best thing about this film is simply Africa. That's what it's about, and the rest is just filler.

Beautiful shots of Africa are alternating with at times infantile behavior of Meryl Streep, trapped in a vicious love circle. However, due to the fairytale-like impression, beautiful shots of Africa, beautiful music and epic ending, Out of Africa really belongs to the golden fund of cinematography.

Everything Baz Luhrmann's Australia wanted to be twenty-three years later, and everything it ultimately wasn't for a moment. A Hollywood epic in the best possible sense of the word.

Beautiful in its exteriors, music, screenplay, and the tangible chemistry of the main couple. That said, it is also slightly diluted in unnecessary side plots that harm the urgency of the present feeling. Still, thanks to the airplane scene, the hair washing scene, and "I want you so badly", an unforgettable achievement with a nostalgic resonance that has changed my thinking over time.

The first great romantic-adventure film of its kind. All other films that came later practically copied more or less this new style that Sydney Pollack introduced. A legend, a must-see.

Out of Africa is one of those films that’s probably impossible to rate badly. Although I was not personally captivated by it and it took me quite a while to feel comfortable with its slow pace, the love story had its charm and I finished it without any problems. Moreover, with actors like Streep and Redford, Sydney Pollack's harmonious and precise direction, and the breathtaking and romantic setting of Africa, everything sounds somehow more real, more loving and sad. 80%
