  deseretnews.com - Movie review: Indochine | Deseret Morning News Web edition
"Indochine" is an epic tale, a big, long (2 1/2 hours) sprawling story of a French woman and her adopted Indochinese daughter, set largely during the 1930s against the backdrop of French-occupied Indochina (which later became Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia).
But later she will take up with a French naval officer and literally head for the hills, becoming a leader in the revolution and finding herself a legendary figure who will be used as propaganda to inspire her peers.
But there is little emotional connection, which is essential in a movie that aspires to be take an epic view.

  Indochine.html
Indochine centers on the life of Eliane (Catherine Deneuve), a wealthy rubber plantation owner who adopts the young Annamese beauty Camille (Linh Dan Pham) when her parents are accidentally killed.
Despite all the political turmoil that functions as the film's backdrop, the central element of the movie is the tale of how Camille and Jean-Baptiste meet, fall in love, and confront an uncertain future.
The third leading actor in Indochine is Vincent Perez, the French naval officer whose own odyssey is fully as strange and unexpected as either of the women.

 DVD Review - Indochine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
"Indochine" is the old name of Vietnam that was used in many Western cultures during the time when French colonialists exploited the country and its people for their own riches.
"Indochine" is a colorful movie that tells a great and passionate story of colonial "Indochine" and thanks to Columbia TriStar’s efforts, this masterful French production is now making it to DVD in a breathtakingly beautiful version.
Apart from the beautiful imagery, "Indochine" has a very strong social message however, and the issue of the exploitation of the people of Indochina is omnipresent.

 Film Review - Indochine
Both movies underline the ambivalent attitude of the French toward their old-time colony, long before it was "inherited" by the Americans.
Both movies are conveniently set in the distant past, allowing their filmmakers to take a more detached historical perspectives to their problematic material.
It is a testament to Deneuve's star power that she somehow manages to hold the disjointed, rather long movie (two and a half hours) together with her charismatic screen presence and startling beauty.

This is an entertaining movie, Catherine DeNeuve is beautiful as is her "daughter" and Vincent Perez is a fine actor.
This is an excellent movie from an acting standpoint but it also is a beautifully filmed movie.
Some of us never knew the history of what is now Vietnam, the depiction of that era is so well done by the actors and the emotional side of the movie is so realistic, specially how the French treated their colonies.

 Review: Indochine
Regis Wargnier's Indochine is another kind of foreign film, more reminiscent of Giant or Doctor Zhivago than the fl-and-white pictures of the French New Wave.
Recent American movies like Unforgiven, A River Runs Through It and The Last of the Mohicans have their pictorial splendors, but Indochine is another category; it's the most eye-popping film I've seen since Bertolucci's The Last Emperor.
Indochine captures the arrogance of the French landowners without turning them into monsters, and while it is sympathetic to the Asian revolutionaries, in the final transformation of the heroine's adopted daughter, it also hints at the frightening single-mindedness of the future Vietnamese communists.

 dangermousie: Friday Post or BSG and Indochine
If you like epics, period movies, angsty love stories, or a nuanced look at a complicated political situation, this is a movie for you.
In fact, there is a bit of gender reversal in this movie as Jean-Baptiste (who is wound up extremely tightly in the beginning of the movie precisely because he is afraid of his strong emotions overwhelming him) is the most emotional and “domestic” of the three.
My favorite scene in the whole movie is actually him sharing a bed with Daniel Auteil and as he is climbing in he off-handedly mentions that the King will be surprised by his marriage as he (the King) thinks he only likes boys.

I was actually quite surprised at one of the comments, which roughly said that the Vietnamese girl falls in love with French officer for no reason at all.
What I am trying to say, is that her relationship with Vietnamese in the movie does not look untrue.
On the contrary, the movie wins while portraying both caring and cruel French people in Indochina, not painting only with fl and white colors, rather raising questions, than giving simplistic answers.

``Indochine'' is a little simplistic in its approach to the politics of the time and it is certainly manipulative.

 The Patrick Doyle Archive - Indochine
Indochine (1992), starring Catherine Deneuve, marked Patrick Doyle's first collaboration with French director Regis Wargnier, who noticed Doyle's music for Henry V and decided to work with him.
Although the epic film concerns the tumultuous last days of French colonial Vietnam, the score is almost completely Western in style, reflecting the French-dominated culture of the main characters.
Indochine had one of the largest music budgets in French film history up to the time (with the recording sessions utilizing a 120-piece orchestra with an expanded string section.) The movie gained much notice in the U.S., including the 1992 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

It does not make judgements but shows the human drama and the heartbreak caused by a way of life that existed and the one that was coming to change it.
Wargnier accomplishes all this in a slow and visually stunning portrait of one family in Indochine.
The story is centered around the magnificent performance of Catherine Deneuve as French rubber plantation owner Eliane Deveries, and the equally terrific Linh Dan Phan as her adopted Indochine daughter Camille.

 Movie Music UK — Nouvelle-France — Patrick Doyle
Peculiarly, Doyle is one of the few British (or American) composers who regularly work on foreign language films: by my count, this is his fifth, the last being the magnificent 1999 score East-West.
With musical nods of the head to the aforementioned trio of Indochine, Une Femme Française and Frankenstein, as well as some of his other scores for Kenneth Branagh, Nouvelle-France is a glorious reminder of the Patrick Doyle of old, who has been away from our screens and our CD players for far too long.
Performed with strength and passion by the City of Prague Philharmonic, the score is a sweeping, majestic epic, bristling with memorable themes, exciting action, swooning romance, and a hint of period grandeur.

In a news conference at the Press Center in downtown Seoul, Vincent Perez, star of Indochine and Fanfan la Tulipe, said that as a citizen who loves art and culture, he supports the quota system as a means of protection.
In the movie, Perez did many dangerous scenes, and all without any help from stuntmen.
Here's a quote from the Yokohama Times: "This year's French delegation is headed by Vincent Perez, a popular actor known for his good looks and his brilliant performances." The festival's agenda calls for Vincent to do a stage greeting, a QandA and an autograph session.

Catherine Deneuve is luminous as always in Indochine (1992), a film that picked up the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1993, and has the inherent sadness of all films set at the end of an era.
There's no denying that the film has merit – though one might rightly question the central unapologetic attitude on French colonialism – and it's every inch a handsome production.
