Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/24/2008 Starring: Catherine Deneuve Run time: 156 minutes Rating: Pg13 Amazon.com: Régis Wargnier's 1992 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film is a bit like watching paint dry, despite its exotic locale and lead performance by the legendary Catherine Deneuve (Belle de Jour, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg). Deneuve plays a wealthy French landowner, born and raised in Indochina, from 1930 until 1955, the year of a Communist takeover. The brewing political changes bound to upset her fortune and destiny find an even more personal parallel in her relationship with an adopted daughter (Linh Dan Pham), who grows up and becomes independent. The outline of this scenario sounds pretty good, but the film is flat and unworthy of its star. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Youth must win over beauty... the price of colonialismThis movie is exquisite; Catherine Deneuve is so beautiful, her wardrobe so perfect, that it is hard to concentrate at times. When you see her whipping one of her slaves, you cannot fathom such cruelty and beauty together - but that is the cost exacted by colonialism. When she chooses to use her influence to have Vincent Perez (Jean-Baptiste) sent away, I wanted to scream "no, no, don't do it, can't you see what will happen?" No man will choose a woman of a certain age, no matter how lovely ... Read More Rating: - Falling Short of the Mark"Indochine" caught my attention for several reasons; Catherine Deneuve, the location, and the Academy Award. American films get a dozen categories along with films from other English-speaking countries and the rest of the world just gets the Best Foreign Language Oscar. Agreed that there are occassional films that get nominated and/or actually win in other categories ("Life is Beautiful") but they are the exceptions that prove the rule. In the category of cinematography, "Indochine" is a real award ... Read More Rating:  - Magnificent movieThis is definitely one of the best movie Catherine Deneuve made in her very long career. I enjoy watching it time after time. Rating:  - Old-fashioned storytelling on an epic scaleIn its day a casualty of the chaos and confusion surrounding the frequently ridiculous entry qualifications for the Best Foreign Film Oscar - many superior films were ruled ineligible and those it was competing against were scarcely representative of the world's best - Indochine may not be great art, but it is an enjoyable example of the kind of old-fashioned good storytelling that Hollywood rarely produces anymore. Set against the last days of the French occupation of what was to later become ... Read More Rating: - FabulousThis film depicts VietNam during the decline of the French rubber plantation era and the communist foothold. The cinematography is nothing short of fabulous especially the footage of Hau Long Bay with its thousands of lime stone outcroppings jutting out of the sea. Not only is it a good story but the scenery is beautiful. Browse for similar items by category:
