OUT OF AFRICA
USA (1985)
Режиссёр Sydney Pollack
With Meryl Streep, Robert Redford and Klaus Maria Brandauer. Big Hollywood movie about the Danish Author Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) and her life as a coffee farmer in Kenya. Great pictures, dramatic and with a well told story, but most of all typical Hollywood-style story from the beautiful and colorful Africa: The white people enjoys life with tea, horse riding and safaris with Mozart on the turntable. No, or very small, effort is put in describing the lives of the true owners of the Kenyan country, who had to pay the price of the shameless behavior of the colonizers.
Я люблю Африку, не знаю пока за что. Но хочу поехать туда. В какую её часть тоже пока не знаю.
Автор реально существовал. Она. Восхищаюсь.
Karen von Blixen-Finecke (April 17, 1885 – September 7, 1962), born Dinesen, was a Danish author also known under her pen name Isak Dinesen. Blixen wrote works both in Danish and in English. She is best known, at least in English, for her account of living in Kenya, Out of Africa, and a film based on one of her stories, Babette's Feast.
Karen, the suburb of Nairobi, where she made her home and operated her coffee plantation, was named after her. It is there that there is a Karen Blixen Coffee House and Museum, set in one of her former homes.
