Exile

A meditation on absence, inner solitude and politics. Exile is also an attempt at elucidation on the part of a boy who lived in Democratic Kampuchea and the man he becomes: What kind of revolution might we wish for? A revolution that lives up to humanity, with respect and understanding? Or an attempt at destruction, the false purity of which has seen so many disciples, be it in Asia or the West? A poetic documentary about growing up in the era of the Khmer Rouge, with the director’s trademark cinematic meandering of memory.
