Meryl Streep conquers another accent and another role with her eyes closed. She personifies the strong willed Danish woman of Dineson's stories. As well rounded and as good as I have ever seen him is Robert Redford as the free spirited Denys Finch Hatton. Strong too is Klaus Maria Brandauer as Baron Von Blixen, the wayward husband, while Malick Bowens is a delight as Mrs Blixen's native 'man'.
To round the film off you add astute editing, glorious cinematography and John Barry's best ever musical score, and you have a marvellous picture. Director Sydney Pollack pulls it all together with a charm and style that seems effortless.
Definitely a movie you should try and see at the cinema of you get the chance. It may, for some, outstay its welcome a little, but epics are want to do this. Many viewers will rather wish it was not finishing so soon.
