Movie Reviews of Indochine
Movie Review: All in One: Romance, Adventure, and Violence
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie Indochine is set during the final years of French occupation in Indochina. Eliane (played by Catherine Deneuve) plays a woman in charge. And because of this power she so desires to maintain, she loses those that she loves most. Her daughter, Camille, disappears on a journey to find her one love, Jean Baptist who is torn between loyalty to France and loyalty to his love, Camille.
Since the movie is set during the final years of occupation, it focuses on the battle of the old and new generations. Are people defined by the country they were born in or the one they live in? Are people who their parents are or do they become what they want to be.
Besides the deeper meaning of the film, it has some of the best acting and best scenery for a film. Every aspect of the film captivates the viewer and allows the viewer to experience the journey alongside with the main characters.
Summary of Indochine
Set in french-occupied indochina from the 1930s to the communist revolution 25 years later. Special features: subtitles in english spanish and french production notes interactive menus talent files bonus theatrical trailers scene selections digitally mastered audio & anamorphic video & more. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/24/2008 Starring: Catherine Deneuve Run time: 156 minutes Rating: Pg13R?gis Wargnier's 1992 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film is a bit like watching paint dry, despite its exotic locale and lead performance by the legendary Catherine Deneuve (Belle de Jour, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg). Deneuve plays a wealthy French landowner, born and raised in Indochina, from 1930 until 1955, the year of a Communist takeover. The brewing political changes bound to upset her fortune and destiny find an even more personal parallel in her relationship with an adopted daughter (Linh Dan Pham), who grows up and becomes independent. The outline of this scenario sounds pretty good, but the film is flat and unworthy of its star. --Tom Keogh
