The People of Angkor (French: Les Gens d'Angkor) is a 2003 French-Cambodian documentary film directed by Rithy Panh. It was exhibited at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in 2005 and had its US premiere at the Tribeca Festival.[1]
Content
The film follows a young Cambodian boy around the temples of Angkor Wat as older men tell him about the legends depicted on the walls, and tourists tour the site.
Reception
The People of Angkor was called "the most original film ever made about Angkor".[2] The way the film focused attentively on the importance of spoken word was noted in a review in Trafic.[3] In a similar manner, Les Inrockuptibles praised the sense of silence in the film.[4]
