Editorial DVD Review
[Top]
At the Height of Summer is a film by Vietnams most prominent director, Tran Anh Hung. Its the story of three sisters in present-day Hanoi: the youngest is just discovering sexuality, the middle one is about to have a baby but suspects her husband is having an affair, & the oldest discovers her husband has a child by a woman who lives in the country. In the course of preparing an elaborate meal on the anniversary of their mothers death, the three women discuss their lives & problems.
This is a film of great beauty & sensitivity, immaculately shot & owing nothing to stereotyped Western images of Vietnam. The radiant Tran Nu Yen Khe, star of Trans first two films, The Scent of Green Papaya & Cyclo offers another great performance. One of the directors trademarks is a virtual obsession with food & its preparation. If you arent hungry when you start this film, you will be at the end.
