Golden Slumbers (2011)

“Between 1960 and 1975 Cambodia’s film industry grew enormously by producing 400 films. However when the Khmer government took over most filmmakers were purged from the country and their movies were burned. Only about 30 films survived the ordeal. Golden Slumbers portrays the cinema of the past as a benevolent haunting spirit using beautiful photography and contemplative long slow dolly shots. These techniques endow the film’s alternately lush and barren locales with a sense of wistful even beautiful desolation. Songs from the missing films echo through Golden Slumbers as if the film itself were an empty old cinema. Mr. Chou taps into something profound about the dream life of a nation.”
