1950s Vietnam is brought to vivid life in director Tran Anh Hung’s sensuous debut feature, which focuses on a young woman named Mùi (Tran Nu Yen Khe) who is hired as a servant for a wealthy family living in Saigon. Mùi watches as the clan deals with financial woes brought on by their deadbeat father, and slowly gets tangled up in the rhythm of their lives. In time, her relationship with the family draws her into an unexpected love affair that will open her up to seeing the world in new ways. This gorgeous film won the Camera d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and is still the only Vietnamese movie to be nominated for an Oscar.
