This is such a beautiful movie depicting a time when racial relationships were forbidden...geez, we've come a long way...the young girl in truth was just turning twenty, so her parents had no say in what she did....both actors were amazing, and that is what good acting is all about, making us believe it is real!
So, what made this movie extraordinary romance is racial hierarchy at that time as the human class difference, which is the Oriental men are not qualified or allowed to have relationship with white women
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This girl's teeth are huge. She can hardly keep her mouth closed. Shame such a young girl would play basically a porn star in this movie. Shame on her parents for letting their child be in this provocative movie. It was a good film but I could not get past this child looking 13 and the Asian man looking like a child molester when they were together.
Devant ta vidéo,je suis restée sans voix du début juskà la fin,j'ai retrouvé ma voix pr te dire...MAGNIFIQUE,SUBLIME,tout y est,le montage vidéo,la musique,la sensualité...et l'émotion...quand il lui à dit qu'il l'aimai,qu'il l'aime et qu'il l'aimerai toujours,les larmes me sont venues.Boulole,un grand merci pour ce fort moment de pur et intense émotion.Ptycoeur.
i have the last sentence as tattoo on my arm , because it means a lot for me and everytime i hear it my heart beats faster. thank you for this great video...
just compare the behaviour of the French family and of "The Chinaman" when the Chinese man takes them to dinner. He is respectful and dignified as his tradition has taught him. The French family are whores. And I think this has a special emphasis in the film.
oh ok i get what your saying, because her family was rude. oh and did her older brother have the hots for her? because he spazzed out when he found out she was sleeping with the chinese man
i think so the one she was dancing with? i think thats her little brother. when she was dancing with her brother... are they close r we're they doing it?
on Daily Motion the user PerfectChoice has it, but parts 2 and 5 are missing from it, but you still get a perfect grasp on the movie even without those two parts^^;;;
thankyou so much this is my favourite film of all time, its very special. It makes me cry everytime I watch it. Nothing will ever better this film it is true art.
This is a marvellous masterpiece. I am a man and I have to refrain myself from crying at the last scence when she looking at her "lover" car while the ship slowly moving out of Indochine. Vietnam and Indochine in the movie are splendid with nice and authentic views. The ferry is really authentic and the houses, schools, mansions in the movie are real ones and intact since 1920. This is the first foreign movie shot in Vietnam, even before Vietnam re-establish diplomatic relationship with the US
And you're an imbecile considering you don't even know who or what I was responding to. I know this because the racist moron I was attacking has since gotten his account suspended. So do you normally post messages without thinking?
un film divin qui m'a dechirée. autant par la beautée des mots de Duras que par le souvenir du meme depart de Chine j'avais 16ans. c'est sur un quai que nous nous sommes aussi séparés
What a love..I envied the love they have for one another. He told her he would never stop loving her. I'm a man, I struggled to fight back tears at the end. What a tragedy, I hope they both are together in spirit. This is a true story, and they both have passed.
Wow, this music is so incredible. I just found out the theme of this film was composed by my favourite film composer, Gabriel Yared. The piano notes are so wonderfully oriental and connect to the setting of the film. So hauntingly beautiful at the same time....
Does the piano music behind this clip come from the film? I read the novel which is based on the autobiography of the author. Somehow, the story reminds me of Thomas Mann's Death In Venice.
j ai regardé deux fois ce film un vrai chef d' oeuvre une merveille et quels acteur cela m' a beaucoup ému un texte vrai et tellement bien interprété si quelqu un avait l adresse afin que je puisse féliciter les acteurs de france mes amities
This is a very well directed movie. Only the French can produce this less media-appreciated amwf movie which North American "directors" are less likely to take on because it is in their culture to keep the asian man loveless, lonely and isolated. It's all propaganda in North America so fuck you Americans and Canadians. Viva Le France.
You really like this film don't you, you've posted on every version of it...I think you secretly like the chinese man and want him all to yourself...come on mate..don't fight that feeling...go with it...all that hate and frustration...let it go!!
It is a beautiful sensual film that became a big hit in the 90's. Unfortunately I have it on LaserDisk, which had been phased out. I should've waited 'til the movie came out on DVD. No matter, still just as beautiful, touching, and really sad in the end.
la scène où les mains se touchent est d'un érotisme incroyable...

No doubt this is a good movie, but I feel a little ashamed and complicated because I am an Asian man who married a white woman.
But I admit this complication made this movie extraordinary.
The concept behind this movie is an old tale of the forbidden love, like the love story of the noble and the poor for the class difference.
