An exquisite film. The character of Mui epitomized the thinking of buddhism...she was quiet, serene, focused on the tasks in front of her and brought out the best traits in the people around her. She was an enlightened one.
The film was beautifully lit and shot...all in a studio in France. The sound design, with its constant buzzing and chirping of insects, helped considerably in creating the atmosphere of life being lived in a tropical land. The music score also excelled.
This was his first film...a fine calling card to the world of international cinema.
