Reviews for Indochine
A guilty pleasure, this French melodrama could have been called "Saigon, mon amour," a grand, sweeping and sprawling saga about a strong plantation owner (the beautiful Catherine Deneuve)--not unlike Vivien Leigh of Gone With the Wind.

The concentration instead is on soap opera plotting that gets pretty sappy sometimes, as well as thick, torpid dialogue.
