admirable work

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2014)

a film about silence. because its subject is an embroidery of war, friendship, illusions and cruelty and hope. because it could be only a sketch for a history page out of definitions. the Khmere regime was one of the worst from the XX century and one of huge virtues of film is the presence of Hing S. Ngor in role of Dith Pran, himself a surviver from terror. each of that characteristics does the film more than a beautiful or touching one. it is a kind of surgery. that fact transforms it not exactly in adaptation of a case but in an unique testimony and in powerful homage. it is the film of a wise director, brilliant cast, splendid music and amazing images. in same measure, it is just one of films who Must see. not for cinematographic culture, not for discover a slice of the last century but for something who can be a better image about fundamental things who defines us as human beens.
