Indochine

The winner of Best Foreign language film at the Academy Awards in 1992, Indochine has been stunningly restored.

Eliane and her father Emile rule over the vast domain of rich, red soil that is their rubber plantation. The only love of Eliane’s life is Camille, her sixteen year old adopted Vietnamese daughter, a princess of Annam, whose parents died in a plane crash. Jean-Baptiste Le Guen (VINCENT PEREZ), a French naval officer has just arrived in Saigon in search of glory. In spite of himself, Jean-Baptiste will confront Eliane and Camille with their destiny. The two women fall in love with him; Eliane will give him up, but Camille refuses.

New Restoration - English subtitles

Beautifully made and nicely restored, this version of 'Indochine' is a marvellous sight to behold. The film is a passionate, sprawling epic. The leading roles are wonderfully played and the settings and dialogue are all excellent. Recommended.
