Ba mùa (1999)

U.S. title: Three Seasons

Synopsis: Several stories happening in Ho Chi Minh City: an American looks for the daughter he had during the war, a street vendor boy looks for his stolen case, a cyclo driver courts a prostitute, a flower picker/vendor befriends a recluse poet. 

Appraisal: This is a gentle and melancholy film, without being really a downer. The storyline is not devoid of the occasional cliché, but all in all I found the film interesting and visually very beautiful.
