The beauty, the photography, the impact of the scenes shot on location in Vietnam, are all striking. But the people seem to drift and waver in their focus. Go to Full Review Steve Warren Southern Voice (Atlanta) 05/09/2023
Old fashioned in the best sense, Indochine is an epic romance on a scale rarely attempted these days, more rarely with success. Go to Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant 05/29/2018
This film about the roots of anti-imperialist rebellion moves from the polite tedium of French society to a gripping, revolutionary force. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 12/01/2007

B-
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

mohammed M. @9mr_0 Mar 7 الفلم جميل. القصة جميلة دراما ثقيلة جدا حواراتها جميلة و متماسكة الحوارات مكتوبة بشكل جيد الفلم لم يقم بتجميل الواقع ظهر الصراع الطبقي بين الشخصيات و المخرج قدم الشخصيات بشكل جيد و اعطى الممثلين المساحه للتقديم ادوارهم بشكل جيد . الممثلين ادائهم جيد وخصوصا البطلة ادائها كان جميل و حضورها قوي جدا الممثلين الثانوين كل ممثل لتزم بمساحته لم يقدم اي شخص منهم اداء مفتعل او مبالغ به . المخرج سرد القصة بشكل متزن حافظ على ايقاع الفلم لكن في العرض يكون هناك بعض المماطلة بالاحداث و سقط في التكرار لكن بالعموم حافظ على الجو الدرامي للقصة ودرامي من النوع الثقيل عاطفيا و نفسيا.التصوير كان رائع حركة الكامره كانت سلسه و الاضاءه والالوان كانت متناسقة . الموسقى كانت جملة و مناسبة مع المشاهد. بختصار فلم درامي جميل من تمثيل وتصوير و قصة ذات حوارات رائعة لكن يعني في بعض اوقاته من المماطلة في اللاحداث.

See more 08/09/2020 Epic in scope and intention but ultimately incompletely melodramatic which is forgiven due to a luminous Deneuve See more steve d @RT35616104 07/10/2020 For me it really dragged. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 02/12/2017 An archetypal epic with grand sweeping ambition. Some lovely scenery, decent acting and a big plot played out across a generation. Lots to enjoy here but it doesn't quite tie everything together and you never feel particularly sympathetic to any of the characters. See more Read all reviews
