Can you give me some recommendations for films set in 19th century Venice and early 20th century Kenya? I've really become fascinated by both historical periods ever since seeing 'The Wings of the Dove' and 'Out of Africa'. Thanks!

Kenya: Flame Trees of Thika, Ghost in the Darkness, Heat of the Sun
Other early 20th century Africa: Breaker Morant, Fort Saganne, Young Winston, Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Don't know any other films set in that time specifically in Venice, but other Italian settings: The Leopard (63), Senso, Where Angels Fear to Tread, A Room with a View (85), Fernando and Carolina, 1900, L'innocente, A Midsummer Night's Dream (99), The Golden Bowl (first part of it), The Portrait of a Lady
Come, we must press against the tide of naughtiness. Mind your step.
Thank you so much for the recommendations!!! I'd heard of the books for some of those and didn't realize they had been made into films.
