French Movie @ IIC living room

it is the International Education Week and the French Club has come up with the idea to show a French movie tonight (Tuesday) in the IIC living room. The movie deals with French culture and Indochinese culture at the same time, and sets the roots of the American War of Vietnam.

Twenty years before the United States lost the war in Vietnam, the exact same thing happened to the French army. This time was pretty hard for France and for Indochina, and mostly for Eliane (Catherine Deneuve), a French woman owning a plantation there, and Camille (Linh Dan Pham), her adopted vietnamese daughter.
And everything goes a lot more complicated when both of them fall in love with the same French officer Jean-Baptiste (Vincent Perez).

The movie won one American Academy Award (oscar) and five French Academy Awards (cesar) in 1993. Linh Dan Pham won a French Academy Award in 2006.

The movie is subtitled in English and the movie will be shown today, Tuesday, November 14 at 7 P.M.
