Country: Cambodia
Director: Angelina Jolie
Cast: Sreymoch Sareum, Kompheak Phoeung, Socheata Sveng, Dara Heng & Kimhak Mun.
Based on the memoir of the same name by Loung Ung, it tells the real story of Cambodian people during Khmer rouge. Ung was seven years old when the Khmer rouge army took over the city. The outcome was Ung and her family must leave the city which is the only way to survive.
This film was selected as the Cambodian entry for the best foreign language film at 90th Academy Awards. It's a journey of a family from one village to another to survive, while showing the difficulty people face during the army rule. Jolie pictures the whole movie through a child's perspective and the kid was stunning. More than a movie, Jolie shares a strong connection with Cambodia country and she adopted her eldest son from there. The background score by Marco Beltrami were nicely attached to the scenes. Overall, it's a serious movie that needs to be watched in that sense of feeling.
Verdict: Good
