Nice panoramas of Angkor and PP so far....I'd like to watch it. It seems there is a sequel, i wonder how good both are ?

I don't remember it but going by the trailer it seems quite awful. The IMDb reviews are funny. A few glowing reviews obviously written by people connected with the project, then a sudden voice of clarity:

What crap
perkop10 September 2005
You know why this film is the only one shot entirely in Cambodia? Because they didn't have money for anything else. Seriously, this movie looks like two guys took their video camera on holiday and decided that between drinking, eating and sleeping they make a movie. To be really honest, I was talking to friends while the movie was on so we would occasionally take a look, basically to comment on the pathetic state of the movie. Acctualy the Cambodian girls where not that bad but the American actors... Like I said, I'm almost sure it was to guys on holiday figuring "hey we got this camera, lets make a movie!" Its one of those movies that really stupefies me - how and who pays for that crap. And why?? I tell you there are some dumb producers out there.

It's not worth seeking out for the story. As with City of Ghosts the chief attraction is the nostalgia aspect, seeing Phnom Penh as it was.
As Woody Allen said of his own movies, people will only watch them in the future to see what cities used to look like.
