Don't think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll
All the hipster have jumped onto this and have been showing the documentary i n their safe space hipster bars
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
Dammit! At least I'm no where near any hipster bars at the moment!PSD_Kiwi wrote:All the hipster have jumped onto this and have been showing the documentary i n their safe space hipster bars
But is it good? Anyone seen it?
It's pretty decent and well put-together and gives an okay overview of several periods in pre-war Khmer pop music (early 60s, late 60s, early 70s), and I learned a bunch of stuff about all those eras I hadn't known before (and I knew quite a bit already)...lots of interviews with those who survived from that era, a few cheesy "re-enactments" of various aspects of the era, but nothing too annoying. The thing I guess I liked about it least was the fact that so many of the older Khmers they interviewed would only speak French! But overall, it's definitely worthwhile seeing. I also would have liked to hear longer samples of some of the songs of the era.

At the moment there are legal DVD's and soundtracks in Monument Books in Phnom Penh and Siem Riep. I'm sure the Special Russian Market Edition will be out soon.
