A new version of Out of Africa?
23 June 2003
It is always nice to admire the Kenyan landscape, its wildlife, and the eternal Masai tribe in films, that's what I like from this film, which drama does not give anything new of what we have seen in other films of this type, such as "Out of Africa" (1985) of the director Sydney Pollack or the recent "Nirgendwo in Afrika" (2001). The tragedy is similar to the first mentioned film and the environment is also the same as in the two previous films. Even the love of Kukiu Gallmann for Kenya is similar to the one felt by Karen Blixen-Finecke (Meryl Streep) in Out of Africa, and Jettel Redlich in Nirgendwo in Afrika. The film is acceptable and interesting to see because of the Kenyan ingredients but the drama does not provide anything new. However, Kim Basinger acted very well.
