The French-Cambodian director Rithy Panh's first feature film is also his most famous work outside documentaries. Unfortunately, the adaptation from the Malaysian parliamentarian writer Shahnon bin Ahmad's "Ranjau Sepanjang Jalan", is too dramatic and overlong, and the non-professional actors can't keep up, so the overall is outdated. Hard to call it a masterpiece of the 1990s.
