OUT OF AFRICA (1985)
Initially set on being a dairy farmer, the aristocratic Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep) travels to Africa to join her husband, Bror (Klaus Maria Brandauer), who instead spends their money on a coffee plantation. After discovering Bror is unfaithful, Karen develops feelings for hunter Denys (Robert Redford), but realizes he prefers a simplistic lifestyle compared to her upper class background. The two continue on until a series of events force Karen to choose between her love and personal growth.
Celebrate the modern master of melodrama and his iconic collaborators.
Ahead of next year's release of his newest film: Amarga Navidad, The Lexi will be celebrating Pedro Almodóvar, the modern master of melodrama with a focus on the women he has directed. The activity will spotlight the performances of Victoria Abril, Marisa Paredes, Cecilia Roth and Penélope Cruz across four of their iconic collaborations with Pedro.
