An overly long but well done epic film starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in a typical if tastefully told 'opposites attract' romance. The colonial setting is certainly eye catching with the beautiful African savannas and the period accurate production design. Sydney Pollack's direction is self assured if too leisurely; a half hour could easily been cut from the running time and nothing of importance lost. Part travelogue part memoir and part romance, 'OUT OF AFRICA' is a solid period epic in the vein of a John Huston movie.
