Monsoon Wife (2004)

Startling images showing gritty reality....how and the heck did you shoot this?
19 September 2005
I was quite taken by the images of this movie. I have never seen this side of Cambodia before but I thought several times while watching the movie – is this real? How did they shoot this so it looked so real? Although I didn't think one of the actors was of the same caliber of the others, the movie really grabbed me in a way that few movies have done. And it appears the filmmakers did so without all the sickening sweet icing of Lara Croft and other Hollywood movies that were either partially shot in SE Asia or else crafted to emulate Cambodia in some way.

Nice work!
