  • Gone, Gone, Forever Gone (Bụi hồng)—the title of his 1996 Silver Lotus Award-winning film—has drifted away, crystalline and pure. Remembering him, I recall White Page and a promise... Having met him many times at grand international festivals and intimate gatherings alike, this gifted, venerable director always left a profound impression of deep intellect and passionate dedication.

  • Aside from White Page, which tells the story of a Cambodian woman under the Khmer Rouge regime, the trilogy The Wounded Beast, Gone, Gone, Forever Gone (Bụi hồng), and A Far Time Past represents cinema deeply imbued with Vietnamese identity and the Vietnamese soul.
    From Thể thao & Văn hóa
  • This film traces the paths of two rival brothers separated by communism and a sister, a former imperial concubine turned Buddhist nun. All are scarred by the events of Vietnam's history from 1945 to 1985—events serving as reflections on Zen, capturing movement and stillness, turmoil and serenity.
