“I had a farm in Africa…”  What happens when you cross a farm, Africa, Crocodile Dundee, and discount Lawrence of Arabia?  You get Out of Africa, loosely based on the life of Isek Dinesen as told in the novel of the same name.  This film follows Karen Blixen as she travels from Europe to Africa to start a coffee farm with her new husband. The episodic film explores themes of colonialism, relationships, and war, all while doing it’s best to show the Kenyan landscape. Should you see Out of Africa or just see yourself out?  Find out today.
