An underrated film
(contains spoilers)

This is a very underappreciated and underrated film, and I do not really understand the reasons for that. The story about the initially mainly sexual relationship that – after separation – turns out to be genuine affection is touching and has some interest with the ongoing family conflict and the cultural differences between the lovers. The sex scenes are absolutely justified, in content as well as in length (I guess I saw a modified version, though), since sex is an essential part of the story. The acting is good enough – especially Jane March needs to be mentioned, she gives a credible performance of a teenage girl in love and in trouble. The development of the plot appears logical, the conflict unfolds in a credible way, and, for instance, the atmosphere during the dinner with the girl’s family is palpable. The scenery of colonial Vietnam seems to be caught very well, and the cinematography and the melancholic music are excellent. One of the final scenes – the farewell, when the ship leaves the port with the girl – is very moving and unforgettable.

Overall, I think this is above average if not even great cinema. Some people apparently did not tolerate the sex scenes, but instead of saying so, they try to deny any artistic value of that movie, and without any good reasons.

It may very well be that Maguerite Duras (the author of the novel, which I did not read) did not like the movie, that she had something else in mind that this movie failed to express – but overall, this film is as good that it has its own value, independent of the novel.
