Ferryman of Memories
Ferryman of Memories: The Films of Rithy Panh is an
unconventional book about an unconventional filmmaker. Rithy Panh
survived the Cambodian genocide and found refuge in France where he
discovered in film a language that allowed him to tell what
happened to the two million souls who suffered hunger, overwork,
disease, and death at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. His innovative
cinema is made with people, not about them-even
those guilty of crimes against humanity. Whether he is directing
Isabelle Huppert in The Sea Wall , following laborers
digging trenches, or interrogating the infamous director of S-21
prison, aesthetics and ethics inform all he does. With remarkable
access to the director and his work, Deirdre Boyle introduces
readers to Panh's groundbreaking approach to perpetrator cinema and
dazzling critique of colonialism, globalization, and the refugee
crisis. Ferryman of Memories reveals the art of one of the
masters of world cinema today, focusing on nineteen of his
award-winning films, including Rice People, The Land of
Wandering Souls, S-21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine, and
The Missing Picture.
