[Film Review] Indochine (1992) 7.6/10

Régis Wargnier's starkly impartial dissection of the declining colonial French Indochina (now Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos) in the 1930s, INDOCHINE is a perfervid melodrama that walks a fine line between rational self-examination and exotic exploitation, not to mention it chalked up Oscar's BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM honor in 1993.

Catherine Deneuve plays Éliane, a wealthy French spinster and...

Love in "Indochina"

I watched the 1993 Oscar-winning film "Indochina" a few days ago. The relationship between colonization and struggle between Vietnam and France has often become the focus of people's interpretation of this film review. I am not sure about the history of this aspect. I don’t want to make any comments if I know too well. The attitude of the mother and daughter towards love in this movie has left a deep impression on me. In my opinion, mother and daughter represent the most...

Some things I don't understand (spoilers)

Indochina actually includes Cambodia and Laos in addition to Vietnam, but the film takes place in Vietnam. I always felt that Catherine Deneuve looked older when she was young. I didn't think she was particularly good-looking, but she was the most delicious when she was in her 40s and 50s. It's a pity that I searched for a long time, and there are no good subtitles, and many places have turned people's heads. Feel free to write down some of your own understanding and questions,...

Indochina

A poetic film. I should have liked the feud between sons and daughters in the big era, but the background of this story is really unfamiliar like a blank piece of paper, even after it started a long time, because of the name of the movie, I have been thinking that India should seem to be British Why did the colony suddenly become French? After gradually understanding, I will feel that they are really similar to the Cambodian people who have been there. They should have the same origin and the...

the most brilliant colonization

For a colonial power like Britain and France, facing the successive independence of the colonies in the past for different reasons, the huge empire eventually retracted into the European territory, and at most there are some overseas territories in the form of this kind of mood must be mixed.
However, these are two peoples who are extremely proud in their bones or on the surface, and it is intriguing to see how they express this emotion in their works of art.
I don't know the history...

It turns out that there is also a picturesque scenery in Vietnam. It turns out that Deneuve can also play such a beautiful and moving mother. She thought that this kind of life could last a lifetime, but the times had forced her to bow her head, she couldn't keep her daughter, she couldn't exile her love, and she couldn't defend the land she loved. Good stories tied to history. Vincent is all-you-can-eat for young and...

The Vietnamese girl falls in love with the brave French father, and the hybrid son can be regarded as a symbol of the new Vietnam. And the French father baptized him, and he finally recognized a French woman as his mother! ! What a shameless ideological aggression! No, no, it is simply the West's lust for the lost...

Historical drama, the plot is ups and downs, much better than 'lover'! The actors are super in place, which reminds me of Oliver Stone's 'Heaven and Earth' is also about Vietnam, the past of the United States and Vietnam. ....
