I recommend this one...great film...all dialogue in Vietnamese...simple presentation of storyline provided fluid motion/rhythm which, in turn, created viewing ease ...calming, relaxing...tame...character appreciation for life resonated with me in a very big way...

yeah, do go out and rent it

Love this film. Just exquisite. And the delicious photography, the flow of the camera.

Good choice, AQ.

note: movie title is "The Scent of A Green Papaya" not "The Scent of The Green Papaya" ...had to nitpick on myself for that one...

when i saw the film, the title was in French so 'the/a' is pas d'importe to me, anyway.

rock on, rock on.

I saw the film awhile back, had a video tape of it. Alas no more.

I don't think it was so much about art and aesthetics versus bourgeois meterialism as it was about being sensitive and kind, the true aesthetic. It certainly effuses with a mood, dreamy.
