In narration that is poetic and historically astute, Panh layers his own memoir atop his nation's.

As haunting as it is haunted, "The Missing Picture" leaves viewers' heads rattling with ghosts.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

A uniquely subjective account of the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s, "The Missing Picture" is the work of Rithy Panh, a Cambodian native who left his homeland when he was an adolescent.
