If you would like to witness the forces of colonialism in brute action, Rithy Panh’s extraordinary new film provides the long view.

In this prelapsarian age, everything is golden with promise. Ladies, in empire waist gowns and enormous hats, throw candies to local children. Great steamships carry French culture abroad, and the Tricolore flag flies on high.

Durante muchos años el director Rithy Panh ha buscado una fotografía que le faltaba: Una instantánea tomada entre 1975 y 1979 de Khmers Rouges cuando se encontraba en Camboya. Por supuesto, por sí misma una imagen no puede probar el genocidio, pero nos anima a pensar, a meditar, escribe la historia. La buscó en vano en los archivos, en documentos antiguos, en el campo camboyano. Para suplir esta ausencia, ha creado este largometraje que no es una imagen, ni la búsqueda de una imagen única, sino la imagen de una búsqueda: una búsqueda que sólo el cine permite llevar a cabo. El filme se presentó a competición en el Festival de Cannes de 2013 en la sección de "Un certain Regard".
