Mar 22, 2010 · Karen Blixen’s House in “Out of Africa” Each time I watch the Academy Award-winning romantic drama Out of Africa, I get swept up in the sheer beauty of it all — the scenery, the sets, the music and the love story. It’s hard to believe it was filmed in 1985 because all these years later, it feels timeless.

The book is a lyrical meditation on Blixen's life on her coffee plantation, as well as a tribute to some of the people who touched her life there.
