This beautiful film is drawn from the life and writings of Danish author Isak Dinesen, who during the time that the film's events occurred was known by her married name Karen Blixen-Flecke. For convenience's sake Karen has married Baron Bor Blixen-Flecke. In 1914 the Baron moved together with his wife to a plantation in Nairobi, then left Karen to his own devices as he returned to his womanising and drinking. Soon the industrious Karen falls in love with the charming English hunter Denys Finch Hatton, who prefers a no-strings relationship. "Out of Africa" received 11 Academy Award Nominations and won 7 including Best Picture, Best Director and Best (Adapted) Screenplay.
