Nowhere In Africa
In 1938, the Redlich family flees from Leobschütz in Silesia, Nazi Germany, to escape the increasing persecution of the Jews.They move to Kenya to start running a farm, but not all members of the family come to an arrangement with their new life. Shortly after their departure, things are changing in Germany very quickly, and a turning back seems impossible. So everyone has to arrange himself with the new life in a new continent.

Nowhere in Africa is long enough that each character is meticulously studied and developed while Link takes the time also to provide wonderfully patient, artistic moments

The acting is wonderful throughout, and director Carole Link has crafted a tale with the dramatic scope of a great epic. The English Patient comes to mind.

A pretty but unsatisfying trifle, its graceful camerawork and fine acting unable to make an oddly flat story shine.

plods through new terrain in Holocaust related subject matter with a shotgun mentality

Una buena historia para decir un par de cosas sobre el desarraigo, los lazos familiares, y la chance de empezar una nueva vida siempre que sea necesario.

Link creates a complex and fascinating portrait of a marriage under the enormous stress of geographical dislocation and historical trauma.

Very moving, well-written, and better-acted, but bitterly realistic.

Everything in the film rings true, is deeply moving, richly photographed, and wonderfully acted.

One very fine film.

The pacing of Nowhere in Africa is a mite drowsy, but there are payoffs for the director's uninsistent touch.

The film has the glorious sweep of an epic.
