Monsoon Wife (2004)
good little film
19 September 2005 - 3 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Monsoon Wife is a good little film shot entirely on location in and around Phnom Penh Cambodia. With a tawdry backdrop involving child prostitution and those who benefit from this activity, an old fashioned love triangle develops among three Americans, one of which is an ex-patriot romantically involved with his "live-in" Cambodian girlfriend. The film's back story shows how the ex-patriot once assisted in the recruitment of young girls to work in one of the local disreputable "Kareoke" bars, but later he cleans up his act.
What I enjoyed about the story is an ironic twist, where the ex-patriot's past begins to catch up with him as the local neighborhood Cambodian mafia begins recruiting his own girlfriend's daughter as a child prostitute.
