    Like watching paint dry
    I hoped that this movie would give me more insights in the later life of Karen Blixen, but the story is really moving nowhere, and becomes a fight for the viewer whether to keep watching or giving up.

    The photography is fantastic, but the storytelling is way to slow. The characters are never shining, and becomes way to dark.
