Rating: - Excellent Movie
As always Meryl Streep shows the quality of her acting ability. She is superb, one of the best of contemporary actresses. Redford is good when he acts, awful when he tries to be a politician.

I remember going to see this in the theater. It is still a vivid love story - between her and Africa, as well as her and Denis.
