Apre yon epòk lò nan sinema nan ane 1960 yo, endistri fim Kambòdjyen an te soufri pandan laterè Khmer Rouge la, kote yo te demantibile divètisman ak atizay. Nan ane 1980 ak 1990 yo, endistri a te kòmanse fè yon retou piti piti, dousman. Fim etranje ki mete peyi a an valè, tankou Jaden Lanmò yo, Tomb Raider te ede ranfòse efò sa yo.

Nan The Missing Picture, writer-director Rithy Panh takes on a daunting and emotionally draining topic—the atrocities Cambodians suffered under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge—and presents it in a beautiful, haunting, and strangely beautiful way, by utilizing intricately detailed clay figurines intercut with archival footage to relay what is indelibly recorded in his memory.
