              • Trivia
                The movie title refers to Funan, a kingdom of ancient Cambodia that existed between the 1st and 7th centuries AD. Director-writer Denis Do thought of Funan as the origin of Cambodian civilization, which came to an end under the Khmer Rouge.

              A romantic imagination of hell
              Compared to the actual remaining sites and exhibits in Cambodia today, this tragedy is a little bit too romantic, soft and European for the genocide committed by Khmer Rouge. However, the animation and story are well made and fitted to its theme. My reflection goes back to the historical Funan and Angkar states in Cambodia that rose and fell independently throughout more than 1000 years, and draws a conclusion that civilization is simply too difficult to sustain in a tropical rainforest.
