Excerpt from The Gazette (Montreal, Canada)
L'important, c'est de rester vivant (four stars, France/Cambodia): One of 50 documentary features in the festival lineup, this very personal film by a survivor of the “killing fields” of Cambodia in the 1970s is deeply moving – a reminder of the real dramas out there in the world that haunt real people. Born in Phnom Penh and exiled in France, Roshane Saidnattar returns to her Cambodia to interview Khieu Samphan, an unrepentant Khmer Rouge leader who was Pol Pot’s successor (and who has since been arrested and put on trial for genocide). With her mother and daughter, the filmmaker then makes an emotional journey back to the hamlet where she’d been a child slave of the revolution. Archival footage and dialogue-free re-enactments with actors give depth to the nightmare.
In Khmer and French, with French subtitles. Screens at Quartier Latin today at 7 p.m., tomorrow at 5:10 p.m. and Sunday at 10:20 a.m.
