Rithy Panh's latest film, which won the top prize of the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival, delves into his own story, recalling the loss of his family due to forced labor and starvation, as well as witnessing the deaths of those around him. This is a harrowing, poetic, brilliant work of emotional and historical archaeology, Rithy Panh has given us an artistically ideal vehicle with which to achieve this worthy goal.
