Very collonial - Out of Africa review by RL

Spoiler Alert
04/05/2014

A woman spends time in Africa, then returns to Denmark after not acheiving quite what she wanted. Rather uneventful, but still very pleasant to watch, with great acting, landscapes & theme music.

Spoiler Alert

Good film but not always very clear just what is happening as the story can be puzzling..  Well acted.
