This movie really stood out to me. I don't need to go over the plot another time, but I found its style quite compatible with the plot and action. The fact that nearly half the entire movie is in Cambodian (?)with no subtitles allows the viewer to better connect to the characters, the actions and the story as it progresses. Vivid imagery, as mentioned in other reviews, is quite memorable.
The only quibble I have is the music in the first half. I don't know if it's traditional Cambodian music, but it contrasted quite harshly with the imagery, and almost overpowered it. The other music in the first half was very dated - it felt like 1984. (the year, not the book)
BUT, I really enjoyed this one. Very well done.
