English Title: The Scent of Green Papaya
Synopsis: A little girl is employed as a maid at a house.
Appraisal: Not much happens in this film, but we get to look at the beauty of one life, through the eyes of this girl, first as a child, then as a youngster. The fluid camerawork is like a pen would be for a writer, making every detail alive and full of meaning. It is a beautiful, lyrical film, slow paced but not boring. That is how I perceive it now, on my second viewing. That was not how I perceived it when I watched it for the first time, a decade ago, approximately. I was a nervous person then, and didn't have the necessary peace of mind to enjoy a film like this.
