In a career that has taken him from the heights of French cinema to the honors of the Academy Awards, director Patrice Leconte has always followed his own remarkable muse. For his most personal film yet, Dogora (now out on DVD), Leconte now travels to Cambodia to create a sound and image symphony of a land and its people. From the city streets to rural villages, from factories to farmlands and beyond, discover the men, women and children of this ever-surprising Southeast Asia nation at work, play and peace, all moving at the speed of life.--Aaron Hillis
When was your first trip to Cambodia, what did you discover, and why were you inspired to film your discoveries?
Patrice Leconte: The true source of Dogora was French composer Étienne Perruchon's music. I knew his suite for orchestra and choirs. He had sent it to me to introduce me to his work.
