Bland and anodyne. Nowhere in Africa is exactly the kind of film that receives Academy Awards. Caroline Link manages to make a potentially fascinating tale wholly bloodless. Characters seem neutered. Worst of all, despite all the lushness of the cinematography, the film fails to convince in its period setting - both dialog and behavior are anachronistic. I'd rather listen to Meryl Streep droning on in faux Danish about her Haus in Afrika. A missed opportunity.
