Jean-Jacques Annaud's 1992 film follows the affair between a poor French girl and a wealthy Chinese man in French Indochina in the nineteen-thirties. Both families are against it. The affair continues in secret. The film places the colonial order inside the relationship; the narrative is told by a voice looking back. It is adapted from Marguerite Duras's novel. The author disliked the film and published her own version of the text separately. It was shot in Vietnam. Who it's for: those who like sensual period drama. Who it's not for: viewers troubled by the extended depiction of a relationship between a very young character and an adult man.
