Huế in Indochine movie

My hildhood memory. It was around 1989-1990, I was 9-10 years old or something. A film crew from France started filming the movie Indochine. At that time, my house was in the Bãi Dâu shipyard in Huế, where the dragon boats were built to make the film background on the Huong River. These boats were later paired to make dragon boats floating restaurants on the Perfume River to serve tourists. The Bãi Dâu shipyard is no longer there, the remaining memories are the dragon boats on the Huong River.

The movie Indochine was filmed on the Huong River in Huế, Vietnam. The movie is set in Vietnam during the French colonial period, and the Huong River is an important character in the movie. The Huong River is the setting for many important scenes, including the opening scene of the movie, the scene where Catherine Deneuve and Vincent Perez kiss, and the final scene of the movie.

Here are some of the famous scenes from the movie Indochine filmed on the Huong River:

Opening scene of the movie: Catherine Deneuve takes a boat ride on the Huong River, admiring the views of Huế.

Scene of Catherine Deneuve and Vincent Perez kissing: The two kiss on a boat on the Huong River.

Final scene of the movie: Catherine Deneuve stands on a boat on the Huong River, looking back on her life.

The Huong River is a symbol of the beauty and history of Vietnam. Filming Indochine on the Huong River helped to give the movie a unique beauty and poetry.

Here are some detailed information about the scenes of the movie Indochine on the Huong River:

Opening scene of the movie: This scene was filmed at the boat pier of Thiên Mụ Pagoda.

Scene of Catherine Deneuve and Vincent Perez kissing: This scene was filmed at a bend in the river near Trường Tiền Bridge.

Final scene of the movie: This scene was filmed at the boat pier of Thiên Mụ Pagoda.

The movie Indochine was filmed in many other locations in Vietnam, including Hanoi, Hội An, and Sa Pa. However, the Huong River is the most famous filming location for the movie.
