The TVI Take
Sydney Pollack's 1985 Karen Blixen biographical film anchored by Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. The structural commitment to letting period-British-colonial-Kenya cultural specificity be rendered at theatrical-epic scale, and David Watkin's Best Cinematography Oscar-winning work, established the film as the canonical 1980s prestige-romance entry.
Won Best Picture.
