Review of Indochine (1992) by Daisy M — 06 Jun 2009
It has been now seventeen years after Indochine film release,but I was pleased on every level.The location was beautiful, and so was the cinematography, acting, casting, plot,dialogue all were in beautiful harmony. The director did not hide anything from showing characters who experience anger, insult, jealousy, and pain.
It was a romantic film in a different setting than we are used to watch, but the movie has a lot more to offer than only being romantic. It shows the monstrous behavior of the French towards the local people,the Rubber Industry and the rise of Communism. It was the French that got involved in war with Vietnam at first and later to be continued by the Americans in 1969.
So it was a lesson in history wrapped in a paper of drama romance with marvelous acting and landscapes. I was touched and amazed by this film and I recommend to all who has great taste for good films.
