It puts value back on people who've historically been undervalued, both by the Khmer Rouge and, by lack of mention, cinema history at large.

Over three million Cambodians died in the genocide between 1975 and 1979. The Khmer Rouge’s reign of terror also decimated a homegrown film industry that had flourished since 1960: movie theaters were bombed, film prints were destroyed and artists were executed. In Golden Slumbers, French-Cambodian filmmaker Davy Chou mourns this loss of lives and culture, but balances the somber material with a playfulness that honors the lush melodramas and mythic adventures of the glory years.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
A mournful testament to a vibrant piece of global film history almost entirely wiped out of existence.
The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold
Golden Slumbers has a tendency to wallow in its romanticism, not to the point of trivializing its history, but definitely dropping off into somnolence.
