The Romance of the Wild.
A sweeping, sentimental look at colonial Kenya told through the lens of a Danish aristocrat, Out of Africa is more silk than sweat, more longing glances than dirt under the nails. Sure, it captured the mystique of the wild and had some cinematic grit—but it romanticized the untamed instead of rolling up its sleeves and living it.
It’s beautiful. But it’s more lace curtain than barbed wire.
Verdict: Not SphstRDnck.
Elegant, poetic, but watching Africa from the porch swing, not the bush.
