Small language movies are either surprises or disasters

This time I encountered an intermediate level.
I would like to say that it is a low-budget production, but there are many extras.

Indochina is said to be the French collective name for the occupied part of Southeast Asia.

A love story in a period of aggression, in which both mother and daughter fall in love with the same man, complicating the plot a little bit.

Those unconvincing plots made me change the habit of watching a movie in one go, and it took me 2 times to watch it.

I like the little girl's face, and I had to perform on stage when I was about to give birth. The costumes at that time made my eyes shine. A very clean moon-shaped face.

The mother's clothes and appearance are very good,
but when she went to the prison to pick up her daughter, she was too dressed up, how delicate her hair was. And the daughter who has already changed, I don't know if it is to create white hair or other effects, adding a little white ash, very similar to the classic Chinese drama The White-Haired Girl

Indochine quotes

  • Guy: Give me Le Guen.

    L'Admiral: No.

    Guy: What will you do with him?

    L'Admiral: I'm awaiting orders from Paris.

    Guy: Let me question him. What he knows about the communist networks and leaders is of major interest to us.

    L'Admiral: Three points, Mr. Asselin. One: Le Guen doesn't talk. He hasn't spoken since his arrest. Not even to my chief of staff - his classmate. Two: If I hand him over to you, he might talk. But I'd rather not. We know your methods. Three: Le Guen is a sailor. His case will be tried by sailors. Any relevant information will be passed along to you.

    Guy: Thanks. Another example of Navy-Police cooperation. That's what makes empires great.

  • Mme. Minh Tam: You have to forget this man, Lili. I'll never understand French love stories. They're all about madness, fury, suffering... they're similar to our war stories. You know the secret. I've told you already.

    Eliane: Yes, I know. Indifference.
