Info

If you would like to witness the forces of colonialism in brute action, Rithy Panh’s extraordinary new film provides the long view. A masterpiece of editing, the film assembles archival footage and antiqued title cards into a wordless recapturing of the Indochinese Empire, beginning with the early days of French occupation. In this prelapsarian age, everything is golden with promise. Ladies, in empire waist gowns and enormous hats, throw candies to local children. Great steamships carry French culture abroad, and the Tricolore flag flies on high.

France Is Our Mother Country Audience Reviews

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
