今日柬埔寨的局面得來不易。柬埔寨土生土長寫實導演潘禮德的最新作品,以第一身角度,呈現過去柬埔寨在赤柬政權時代的生活。他家人被放逐出金邊,他的父母、姊妹以至兒甥相繼在偏遠的勞改營中死於飢餓或疲勞。透視主角成年後與少年時的思想分歧,曾經嚮往的口號再也不能吸引他。這位2013年的AFF焦點導演,上一回《被消失的影像》(第十屆)透過黏土模型重塑歷史令人印象深刻,這回以劇場方式為遺失的部份填充,以帶強烈實驗性的手法讓這段黑暗歷史重見光明,叫當代人深刻反思。
Acclaimed Cambodian filmmaker Rithy Panh has dedicated his film career, including 2013’s Oscar-nominated The Missing Picture, to remembering the devastating events and aftermath of the Khmer Rouge-engineered genocide that claimed the lives of millions from 1975 to 1979. His latest Exil reflects on his country’s and his own darkest days in a deeply personal and cerebral elegy. Combining archive footage with staged scenes and narration that represent the director, the abstract essay film confronts memories of profound terror and loss as well as the extreme ideologies that spawn revolution and destruction.
