Surreal cinematography, Ballet like sequences- slow & full of ethos define this gold tinted romance starring Catherine Deneuve & Vincent Perez . It is soulfully tragic love triangle with a mother and daughter falling in love with the same man.....naturally it all goes sad,bad & hopelessly tangled ! Vietnam is a country mangled by war and passions of its past tangling with the fury of the present....people trying to find their way out of oppression , choices that left families torn asunder, lives desolate and a future that isn't as gold as promised.
The film is almost dreamlike with emotions that run fast & furious.
I found it hauntingly sad and painful at times but I would see it again.

Wonderful scenery and photography - this film promised to thrill - but it didn't.
CD did well as usual but the film was marred by a poor story and wooden acting. A film of this cinematic scope should offer more than a standard Mills and Boon storyline - an opportunity missed.
I would recommend this film but only to students of geography and those planning their gap year.

I'm in the process of watching this for french class, and let me just warn you; it's tragically bad. The cinematography is decent but the story is moronic to put it lightly. It tries to be all romantic and drama filled but really it's just completely awkward and without substance. Trust me, even "Flubber" has deeper characters and a more engaging love story.

Great movie!
Unfortunately, the translation from French into English subtitles seems very poor, which reduces the experience quite a bit. Read more
