Review
A superb and involving drama, exquisitely filmed, set in 50s Saigon. We follow the silently beautiful Mui in her capacity as servant girl to a rich family. The family's financial difficulties mean she must leave the only life she knows but the change brings love. Achingly, painfully beautiful.
