Editorial Reviews

Australia released, PAL/Region 4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: Silent ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), Silent ( Dolby DTS 5.1 ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Anamorphic Widescreen, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Directed by Patrice Leconte (THE GIRL ON THE BRIDGE) and set to a beautiful score by Etienne Perruchon, DOGORA takes us on a musical journey through life in Cambodia. Focussing on everyday Cambodians and their everyday pursuits-travelling, eating, sleeping and working-it is a stunning, timeless evocation of a wondrous land. A film without a narrative, actors or plot, DOGORA follows in the footsteps of the hugely-popular, visually-splendid BARAKA. ...Dogora ( Dogora - Ouvrons les yeux )

4.0 out of 5 stars May be Lecone's most personal film yet!, May 27, 2010

This review is from: Dogora [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

If you're a fan of Leconte or "Qatsi" films I can't recommend this enough. Academy award nominated filmmaker Patrice Leconte, mostly known for his wonderful RIDICULE & HAIRDRESSER'S HUSBAND, now travels to Cambodia to create a wonderful, spiritual symphony of sound, image and movement of a hidden land and its people. From the crowded city streets to rural villages (including the stunning extended panning shot through river-side town), Leconte paints an expert portrait of the beauty in hidden archaic life. Please release the amazing soundtrack by Étienne Perruchon!

The pairing of European orchestral music, especially the climactic superimposition of the choral singers on the tourist images of Cambodia, creates a stunning impression that the director is making a heavy-handed political statement or is out-of-touch and does not look at the world other than via cliches.
