DESCRIPTION
Sensitive and moving tale of the romance of two individuals whose political and religious ideologies are exact opposites. Streisand plays a Jewish student radical in love with a conservative young Protestant writer. Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: PG Release Date: 3-JUL-2007 Media Type: DVD
Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand star as sociopolitical opposites--he's a WASP novelist, she's an activist--who nevertheless strike up a romance in the 1930s, and have a rocky relationship through the next two decades that reflects much of America's history. An essential part of the movie--the Hollywood blacklist and the McCarthy witch- hunt years--comes across as a botch, due to some excessive cutting before the film was released. But except for that hole in the heart of the story, director Sydney Pollack Out of Africa has crafted a strong and moving drama about two interesting characters. Redford always good with Pollack is at the height of his powers, and Streisand is persuasive. --Tom Keogh
