Based on the book by Kuki Gallmann, this is the tale of a woman (Basinger) who emigrates to Africa with her husband and son where she learns to love the land she has always dreamed of.
Exceptional "moment" in the lives of the real human animal. Great acting! In the genre of "The Whale Rider" and "Nowhere in Africa"-my personal preference-special people in an exceptional setting. Thankyou!!
I DREAMED OF AFRICA IS SOMEHOW A GREAT MOVIE BUT IT DIDN`T TACKLE aFRICA Completely!!The movie didnt emphasize tHE pOLITICAL, economics and more info of african socio- cultural aspect. But as a whole, this film won both Oscar Award and my admiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent! Invigorating and refreshing. I have read I Dreamed of Africa, Night of the Lions and African Nights. All are amazing pieces of work that detail a life not many could imagine. The movie showcased the struggles and the pain concurrently with elation. *****
