DVD Review: All in One: Romance, Adventure, and Violence
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie Indochine is set during the final years of French occupation in Indochina. Eliane (played by Catherine Deneuve) plays a woman in charge. And because of this power she so desires to maintain, she loses those that she loves most. Her daughter, Camille, disappears on a journey to find her one love, Jean Baptist who is torn between loyalty to France and loyalty to his love, Camille.
Since the movie is set during the final years of occupation, it focuses on the battle of the old and new generations. Are people defined by the country they were born in or the one they live in? Are people who their parents are or do they become what they want to be.
Besides the deeper meaning of the film, it has some of the best acting and best scenery for a film. Every aspect of the film captivates the viewer and allows the viewer to experience the journey alongside with the main characters.
DVD Review: Youth must win over beauty... the price of colonialism
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is exquisite; Catherine Deneuve is so beautiful, her wardrobe so perfect, that it is hard to concentrate at times. When you see her whipping one of her slaves, you cannot fathom such cruelty and beauty together - but that is the cost exacted by colonialism.
When she chooses to use her influence to have Vincent Perez (Jean-Baptiste) sent away, I wanted to scream "no, no, don't do it, can't you see what will happen?" No man will choose a woman of a certain age, no matter how lovely and fascinating, over a young woman who can bear him children. Nature does not allow it.
The loveliest scene is when Jean-Baptiste is baptising their son in the pool; the most horrific the slave market which he witnesses and is supposed to be supporting.
As lovely as the cinematography is, I do wish the movie had been a little bit shorter. It was exhausting.

Description of Indochine [Region 2]
R?gis Wargnier's 1992 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film is a bit like watching paint dry, despite its exotic locale and lead performance by the legendary Catherine Deneuve (Belle de Jour, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg). Deneuve plays a wealthy French landowner, born and raised in Indochina, from 1930 until 1955, the year of a Communist takeover. The brewing political changes bound to upset her fortune and destiny find an even more personal parallel in her relationship with an adopted daughter (Linh Dan Pham), who grows up and becomes independent. The outline of this scenario sounds pretty good, but the film is flat and unworthy of its star. --Tom KeoghFrench DVDs
