Nowhere in Africa. (B+) This is a German film that, I believe, won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. I thought it was very good but not quite great. At the beginning of the movie, it is early 1938 in Germany, and a Jewish woman has just received a letter from her husband in Kenya. He has seen the writing on the wall and has urged all their families to leave the country, but they don't do it. Only his wife and their little girl make the long trip to Kenya to join him. The wife is kind of spoiled and ungrateful for a long while, and the hard-scrabble existence they eke out in the Kenyan wilderness takes a heavy toll on their marriage. But their little girl has no trouble adjusting and making friends in their new home. Then war breaks out, and they are horrified as they lose touch with their families back in Germay and hear news of what is happening there. Lots of other stuff happens too, but the focus is always on their little family, and the heavy toll that the circumstances place on their marriage. At 2 hours and 20 minutes, I thought it was a little long, but maybe that's just because the old movie theater where I saw it has really uncomfortable chairs. I recommend it.
