Storyline
Featured review
when colonists were kids
This French documentary about the history of the French colonization in South East Asia is a combination of archive films and of memories of children of colonists in Vietnam, now old people remembering the life and atmosphere they were born and grew up. While the history part is well documented without entering too much in details and the filmed images were interesting - at least for me, not being very familiar with these episodes of history - the best part were the stories of the old men and women retelling the history of their families from the arrival full of hope at the end of the 19th or during the first decades of the 20th century and the departure at the sunset of the French colonial empire in the 1950s. In the absence of a too deep historical or cultural commentary or of big revelations it this the human dimension of the story that really catches the attention.
