TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Shot completely in Cambodia with an all-Cambodian cast and in the Cambodian language Khmer.

Almost all Cambodian artists, actors and film professionals were killed during the Khmer Rouge regime and only a few of the directors were able to flee the country. The history of the birth and destruction of Cambodian cinema is covered in the documentary Golden Slumbers (2011) from the first Cambodian film made in 1960 to the arrival of the Khmer Rouge in 1975. In these 15 years, about 400 films were produced, but only 30 films survived. With a few of the survivors telling their stories, the documentary tries to bring back to life the myths and legends of this lost cinema. Most of the old movie theaters of Phnom Penh have now become restaurants, karaoke places or squats.

Based on the deadly rule of the Khmer Rouge, a communist inspired movement led by the dictator Pol Pot, under which an estimated 25% of the Cambodian population died from malnutrition, forced labour and mass murder from 1975 until 1979. This historical event is today known as the Cambodian genocide.

Producer Rithy Panh is himself a survivor of the Cambodian genocide. His acclaimed documentaries Cambodia, entre guerre et paix (1991), Bophana: A Cambodian Tragedy (1996), The Land of the Wandering Souls (2000), S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2003), Duch, Master of the Forges of Hell (2011) and The Missing Picture (2013) are about the victims, the perpetrators and his own experiences.

Director, co-writer and producer Angelina Jolie has had Cambodian citizenship since 2005, and her adopted son Maddox was born there.

Popular Dialogues

"[first lines] Richard Nixon: [on broadcast TV] Cambodia, a small country of 7 million people, has been a neutral nation since the Geneva agreement of 1954. American policy since then has been to scrupulously respect the neutrality of the Cambodian people. British Reporter: [standing with troops] The Vietnamese armies on the south side of the river appear to be indifferent to the contest. Cambodian Politician: Under the pretext that there is a war necessity, they come into Cambodia. Field Reporter: Are you glad to be in Cambodia? Soldier: Negative. No. Radio Reporter: The principle casualties appear to be innocent Cambodians. Henry Kissinger: [at podium] ... the occasional difficulties in reaching a final solution. Richard Nixon: What we are doing is to help the Cambodians help themselves. This is *not* an invasion of Cambodia. French Reporter: The Nixon Doctrine for Southeast Asia appears to have failed. The war that began in Vietnam has now engulfed Cambodia. There is anger and frustration at the US bombings. Thousands of lives lost. Farms and livelihoods destroyed."

"Propoganda Announcer: It's better to make a mistake and kill an innocent person than to leave an enemy alive."
