Content

The film follows a young Cambodian boy around the temples of Angkor Wat as older men tell him about the legends depicted on the walls, and tourists tour the site.

Reception

The People of Angkor was called "the most original film ever made about Angkor". [2] The way the film focused attentively on the importance of spoken word was noted in a review in Trafic. [3] In a similar manner, Les Inrockuptibles praised the sense of silence in the film. [4]
