      The Missing Picture

      7.3 (3.7K)
      Rithy Panh

      6.8 (1.4K)

      Winner
      • Tali Sharon
      • She Is Coming Home
      Jury Statement: It's extraordinary to see someone give themselves over so totally to their performance, and yet at the same time maintain an air of mystery about themselves, something that makes us want to keep discovering more and more about her.
