07/10/2011 Modern civilization and the natural countryside collide, but not with their respective technological and societal standards and measures, but with Dang's consistent topics: irrationality of human emotions. Marvellous and enchanting depiction of Vietnam's daily life, a forgotten land that also dreams, feels and gives birth to hope in whatever area is needed. Bravo: this is cinema's color dreams come true. 97/100 See more Read all reviews
