Review of Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll (2014) by David F — 27 Sep 2016

I'd been waiting to see this documentary for a long time, building up my expectations, which is why it was a bit of a let down. It is a very good presentation of two and a half decades of the music that emerged during Cambodia's "heyday" but as the availability of film from that era is unfortunately low (and some of those that made it are of low quality) a lot of the video is of album covers and photographs.

There are also a number of recently filmed backdrops, but made to look old, to the music. However, the title could have been stretched to show how the music hasn't been forgotten by showcasing such bands as Dengue Fever and the Cambodian Space Project, both of whom have taken the music, and modern versions of it, to international audiences in other parts of Asia, and to North America, Europe, and Australia.
