Indochine: Academy Award Winner
Buenos Aires school teacher Aleandro (Norma Aleandro, in a rivetting performance) lives in middle-class comfort with her husband and their adopted daughter. But she starts on a moral and political reawakening when she suspects her adopted daughter is the child of a murdered political prisoner.
Critic Reviews:
- " This film about the roots of anti-imperialist rebellion moves from the polite tedium of French society to a gripping, revolutionary force. " – Malcolm Johnson
- " A guilty pleasure, this French melodrama could have been called “Saigon, mon amour,” a grand, sweeping and sprawling saga about a strong plantation owner (the beautiful Catherine Deneuve)–not unlike Vivien Leigh of Gone With the Wind. " – Emanuel Levy
