I Dreamed of Africa is a 2000 film starring Kim Basinger, Vincent Perez, Eve Marie Saint, Garrett Strommen, Liam Aiken and Daniel Craig. It is based on the autobiographical novel I Dreamed of Africa by Kuki Gallmann, an Italian writer who moved to Kenya and became involved in conservation work. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
The film, on the whole, was not received well, despite praise for Kim Basinger's performance.[2] Basinger earned a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Actress (also for Bless the Child).
It was also a huge financial flop: its budget was $50 million while worldwide gross was less than $15 million.[3]
