The Perfect Motion by Xavier de Lauzanne: Experience the Splendor of the Royal Ballet on the Big Screen Nationwide from 1st April onward
April 1, 2023 4:55 PM
The Perfect Motion, or “Tep Hattha” in Khmer, is the first locally funded and produced documentary film for cinema to be released nationally in Cambodia from 1st April onward. It follows two intertwined storylines: the creation of a show called “Metamorphosis” by Princess Bopha Devi (her very last production) and the history of the Royal Ballet since 1906.
The movie captures the essence of this beautiful art form with stunning visuals and captivating storytelling. Young dancers and old masters share powerful testimonies about how they devoted their lives to perfecting their craft and ensuring that it survives into future generations, despite the tragedies of Cambodian history. Through their stories, viewers will gain an understanding of how the ballet has shaped Cambodian culture and identity over time. As Rodin once said, “It is through movement that one truly understands beauty.”
Xavier de Lauzanne, director of The Perfect Motion, remarked, “I thought it was important to share this project with someone who had a deeper understanding of artistic life in Cambodia and maybe a more conceptual point of view than I did. So, I asked Pierre Kogan, an art lover and filmmaker who had lived in Cambodia for eight years, to co-write the film with me. We wanted to produce a film that captures both the beauty of Cambodian classical dance and the incredible drama of its recent history. It’s important to pay tribute to the artists who in the face of war, destruction and complete destitution found the courage to teach and revive their art, turning it into a source of hope, resilience and reconstruction.”
