KAREN BLIXEN - OUT OF THIS WORLD 2005 | Directed by Marcus Mandal Introduced by Meryl Streep, "Karen Blixen – Out of This World" tells the real story behind the Academy Award winning film Out of Africa. This is the story about the incredible life of the world-famous Danish author Karen Blixen / Isak Dinesen – a story just as dramatic as her own fantastic tales. It is about an extraordinary woman, an unstoppable female, a vain eccentric, and a very sensitive human being, whose life was characterized by both great ups and downs. The documentary takes the viewer on a journey throughout the fascinating life of Karen Blixen, told by people close to the author. A journey that not only documents her extraordinary life, her extensive travels and the people she met – through her story it also depicts a time of adventure and eccentric aristocrats, a time of possibilities and obstacles. Karen Blixen, herself, appears in old films and footage from numerous television shows. And with special permission from the family of Karen Blixen, the directors have been given unique access to photos and let-ters from the private archives, many of which have never before been made public. To complement the rich imagery of this film, additional footage and historical reenactments have been shot on location in Denmark and Kenya – all done with great attention to detail and with much emphasis on authenticity.
