Schoendoerffer also made his mark as a screenwriter with his 1975 film Drummer Crab - which won three Cesar awards in France, including best actor for Jean Rochefort.

President Sarkozy, in a statement praised the "legendary filmmaker and novelist" for risking his life for France and "helping us better understand our collective history."

....for your thoughtful montage..........The late Feraydoon Farrokhzaad surely had an understanding and most probably some personal experience of "Pain".

This is a very nice blog..........It also shows that our lady nurses were more capable than our royal army in the battle fields...........

On behalf of all Vietnamese, Cong or otherwise, I thank you again....... God bless you and the dead King....
