| Indochine | comment |
Indochine is a 1992 film from France, directed by Regis Wargnier, starring Catherine Deneuve.It spans the years 1930-1954 and the end of French colonial rule in French Indochina, the country that would eventually become Vietnam, but most of the story takes place from 1930 to 1936. Eliane Devries (Deneuve) is a French colonialist, born and raised in Indochina, manager of and heir to her father's vast rubber plantation. Eliane is unmarried, but she is the loving adoptive mother of Camille, a Vietnamese princess orphaned after her parents are killed in a plane crash.Eliane is not the cruelest of colonial masters but she isn't the kindest either, calling her workers "coolies" and whipping one who attempted to run away. She also has an opium habit, and fills her private time with casual sex with a variety of lovers. One of those lovers is Jean-Baptiste (Vincent Perez), a handsome young Navy lieutenant. They embark on a passionate affair that is rather more serious than Eliane's usual flings.Eventually Eliane and Jean-Baptiste part. One day an incident involving the shooting of a runaway prisoner winds up introducing teenaged Camille to Jean-Baptiste. They become lovers in turn, much to Eliane's displeasure and social embarrassment. Eliane arranges for Jean-Baptiste to be sent away to a remote harbor post with a strong Heart of Darkness vibe to it. Camille then abandons her mother and goes off on a quest to find Jean-Baptiste. Tragedy ensues.Not related to the music band of the same name. | |

Rescue Romance | |
| Indochine / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Zig zagged. An escaped prisoner is shot dead next to Camille and his corpse falls on her. She loses consciousness and the blood of the prisoner soils her clothes, so Jean-Baptiste thinks she was hit by the bullet and takes care of her. Camille thinks Jean-Baptiste saved her and falls in love with him. Jean-Baptiste says that he did nothing. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Prior to meeting Jean-Baptiste, Camille was in a relationship with Thanh. Thanh, newly aware of the value of freedom, agrees to aid her in her pursuit of Jean-Baptiste by marrying her so that they can be free of their arranged marriage contract and then letting her go. Downplayed because Thanh was not in love with Camille: their relationship was arranged by their families. | |

Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow: The star-crossed romance between a Vietnamese girl and a French sailor. Subverted, because, in spite of her young age and privileged upbringing, Camille is not submissive at all. She even becomes a hardened resistance hero. In contrast, her white lover is quite weak and passively undergoes the events of the film. | |

| Indochine / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: At the beginning of the auction scene, a painting of Joan d'Arc is sold. Later on, Camille is celebrated as a Vietnamese Joan d'Arc by the anti-Imperialists for her actions. Jean-Baptiste's deeply cynical commanding officer looks out at all the Vietnamese peasants placidly waiting to be taken into indentured servitude, and muses, "One day they'll rise all at once, and then we'll have to leave." An actor warns Jean-Baptiste that it is dangerous for him to get out of the cart because he could get caught. Later, Jean-Baptiste goes away from the carts and he is arrested. | |

Holiday in Cambodia | |
| Indochine / int_d2b18a18 | comment |
Holiday in Cambodia: Downplayed. Guerilla warfare, Asian prostitutes and drugs are all present but they hardly much importance and are depicted in a way less commonly seen with the trope. | |

You Can't Go Home Again: Camille refuses to go home with Eliane when she gets out of jail, telling her mother that she had to rid herself of emotional ties to survive in prison. She also warns Eliane that the Indochina she once loved will be no more soon and that she should return to France with Etienne. She does as such and sells her land before returning to France. | |
