Mua he chieu thang dung (2000) - At the Height of Summer - Vertical Ray of the Sun

Directed by Anh Hung Tran

Starring Tran Nu Yn-Kh, Nhu Quynh Nguyen, Le Khanh

The sublimest of films, primarily covering a month in the lives of 3 sisters between the anniversary of their mothers death and the anniversary of the loss of their father. Marriage, infidelity, pregnancy and other subjects are raised but the mood is so languid and sensuous that even when it's pouring with rain you wish you were there.

Beautiful cinematography, exquisite acting, superb soundtrack, seriously sensual, the perfect escape from the humdrum of daily life.

Asian angle - the ritual preparation of food and the honoring of the dead. The unique beauty of Halong Bay.

Recommended? Yes very highly. 

Cheers Trev.

BBFC rating PG suitable for almost anyone.
