Rithy Panh continues his masterful exploration of contemporary Cambodia and the legacy of its recent past through the stories of young women forced into prostitution to survive. Living in the wake of the Khmer Rouge and beset by the juggernaut of global capitalism, these women eek out an existence in a decaying apartment building in Phnom Penh. Away from men and the noise of the street, Paper offers moments that range from expressions of quiet despair to the sharing of intimacies and mutual comfort.
