Rewind, Review, and Re-Rate: ‘The Killing Fields’: Roland Joffé’s Saga of an Enduring Friendship 

Updated:

R | 2h 21min | Drama | 1984

Roland Joffé’s searing film only appears to dwell on a bloody civil war. In reality, it centers on a touching real-life story of friendship, forgiveness, sacrifice, and faithfulness to truth in the face of totalitarianism. Nominated for seven Oscars, it paints a moving portrait of simple freedoms that contemporary democracies sometimes take for granted.
