Well if ever a final 15 minutes has made a movie. I thought it was average until then, but a beautiful ending.

I can't understand how good the performance of the tuktuk driver was. It was like he didn't even realise he was acting. Knocked all the other actors out of the park.

Going to bed. Goodnight Cambodia x

My search to find out if the Tuk driver in CoG's performance was just a one off, has led me to Holly.

Grim subject from the looks of it, but early scenes suggest that it's a superior movie to CoG.

This seems to be the Tuk guy's only other movie and he's listed as playing a "gas vendor", so I guess he must just basically have an ability to be completely himself on camera. If he was able to put in a similar level performance playing a different character then he'd been an all time great.

Yeah, near La Poste restaurant. I thought it was there. Ate there a few times; good restaurant good value. That's where they film the hotel Matt Dillon's character's staying at. Roads seem to have improved a bit since those days.

If you search for movie name freeonline you can find.

I watching Holly now, also set in Cambodia. About the sex trade, but actually I think it is much better movie. Sadly the Tuk guy from CoG only has a small part in this one though. He good actor.

This is a great documentary about some young women living in the Tonle Bassac area in 2009. I might have the full movie somewhere, I'll have a look.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

It's one of those weirdly high-concept '70s flicks, a black comedy centered around a fictionalized version of the JFK assassination that barely managed to eke out $1 million at the box office. It's really only notable for featuring Jeff Bridges and for being possibly the lowest-profile film ever to have a mob killing associated with its production.

According to mob researcher John Fleming, the film was being produced by Robert Sterling and Leonard Goldberg, two rich drug dealers who had sunk their profits into the adult Emmanuelle series. Problematically, the duo did not actually have enough money to make the movie, so they went to some even richer, mobbier parties for financing. When the film kept going over budget, Goldberg reasoned that their investors would have to let them live long enough to ensure they'd make a profit, a colossal gamble that he decisively lost. Midway through the film's production, Goldberg was kidnapped and handcuffed to a bed, and shot in the head. The film lost a ton of money, partially because it only played in theaters for a couple weeks after the distributor got cold feet over its subject matter. The grisly mob-related murder of its drug-dealer producer didn't seem to hurt it much.
Watching it right now. Pretty wild. Thank you!
