Spendid photos, a perfect lightning, a film as sober as Lou Reed, I mean in his minimalsitic songs, wonderful actors.
Pictures are frozen in time in a more calm Saigon than can be in real.
A bit difficult to follow the plot, as more a day dreaming, where nothing much happen.
Your mind, at least mind tend to unfocuse, and let the flow of the story gently follow the spring of the source.
But it becomes rapidly very rather boring, the gentle figures are lacking any deepth, and you have a hard time to feel some emotions at all.
You see and are enchanted, but it is no Begman nor Tartokvsky.
Maybe it is also a society problem Vietnam as Asian countries are very attentive to this "losing face " dilemma, touch us maybe less that it should.A wonderfully set present in a beautiful box with many somptuous ribbons, but when you open it, there is only a charcoal brick in it.
I am frustrated.
Follow Ups:
you can equally appreciate the work of different directors as much as those two?
Anyhow, Rembrandt has phenomenal technique in the service of a deep understanding of human nature... and mortality. A Shakespearean painter.
The film you're referencing may be more like an abstract expressionist masterpiece... the surface IS the all: the feelings you get from the visual is the zen of it.
This reviewer seemed to "get it": This movie was one long, slow, blissful dream. I can hardly explain how much I have been moved by this movie. It exists beyond what is projected on screen, appeals to some of one's innermost sensations, feelings almost forgotten, like the simple pleasure of waking up in the morning, opening one's window, and breathing, deeply. Since I live in Paris, I was lucky enough to meet Yen (the interpret of Lien) and Hung (the director) and talk to them personally. And I understood where the movie's deeply heartfelt nature came from : simply, it was the expression of the greatest sincerity and sensitivity of all. Hung and Yen are both just like this movie, just like the Scent of Green Papaya too : fascinated with simplicity, and constantly looking for beauty in its simplest form, in the most obvious gestures of everyday life. Waking up had always been a routine for me. After seeing this movie, it has become a pleasure renewed every morning. Never before had I understood the worth of movements executed slowly, fluently, harmoniously, almost like a ceremony. A la Verticale de l'Eté is not an obvious movie, where everything is suddenly thrown at the spectator who needs do nothing but open his mouth and swallow whatever is shoved down his throat. This demanding film asks a total commitment, asks you to completely forget everything else than the movie. But if you let yourself sink into the movie, if you make that initial effort, this film will reward you with much more than mere images and temporary distraction. I truly believe that this movie will forever stay in the hearts of those who have seen it. I have seen it four times so far, and can't get fed up with it. There is one problem about this movie though : it makes it particularly hard to get back into the "real" world... That is probably why I keep going, again and again, to see this movie. I think I like to believe that life can be a dream sometimes."
I'll put it in my Netflix queue.
Did I get it right...You speak of a movie you have not seen yet?
asd
He-he...
comparisons and seeming methodology.
And this French critics are much more harsher than me!
I just search what the better critics in France had to say about this film.
Guess what?
I hope your French is good enough.
little exercise underscored my need to seriously brush up on my French.
I'll see the film soon.
I just saw Denis' "Beau Travail" and though I appreciated the "art," I think it wasn't appropriate to the subject matter. One huge failing: the Arabic looking guy playing "Billy Budd" wasn't fleshed out enough. The Sergeant was magnificently portrayed, however.
BEAU TRAVAIL, well we wrote a lot about it from Victor to Clark...
With Passion in the Desert, a fresh view to a wonderful movie making.
Incontournable.

Curious.
Maybe be it is enough for you that a film come from Iran, Senegal or Utopia to like it, to give it a kind of bonus.
Beside the fact that my opnion was not so harsh on this one, and I found also kind words, still it had a two D dimension and miss the fundamentals.
Like a nice pictures book you may have some pleasure to turn page after page.
But first see this picture...Victor is also soon to see it, I suppose.
I wonder what will be his view.
mmmm
