The first part of the film,when the reporters are in Cambodia, is less interesting than the second.The description of the journalism is not so lucid than in Oliver Stone's Salvador. There is many esthetics shots (a scene of sunset when Wasterson is anger) , they lessen the strong of the picture. The details make the interest ,the thrust of the red-cross vehicle.The travellings are sometimes grandiloquent (the beginning of the flight on the railway,the many shots of children).Cambodia is showing superficially.Paradoxically the action gains in interest in the french consul ,the fear atmosphere is done.
The second part is more done because the description of the indoctrination is restrained but strong.The voice off is useful.I learn many things on the ideology of the red Khmer. Haing S Ngor give a good interpretation.
