What an incredibly beautiful film this is... Everything about it just oozes beauty. The colours, the crisp sounds, the slowness of it all... the seemingly meaningless scenes that do have a meaning after all. All of it works together to convey a wonderful atmosphere of life in a tropical suburb in Vietnam. The fact that there is hardly a storyline only adds to it. A magnificent film!
