HA NOI — The Friends of Vietnam Heritage will host a film night on January 25, presenting the movie Cua Roi (Lost and Found) by director Vuong Duc.
The film is one of the few features exploring the topic of the aspirations and hopes of youth in the early days of Viet Nam’s development.
Released in 2002, the story centers on a mathematics teacher – a kind and helpful man whose naivete causes him many troubles in life. With humour and bitterness, the film raises big questions about the role and behaviour of intellectuals in society. The cleverness of scriptwriter Nguyen Viet Ha combined with director Duc’s special staging techniques resulted in an interesting and much-acclaimed film. The movie also portrays the beautiful scenery and life in Ha Noi nearly 20 years ago.
The movie won the Silver Kite Award given by the Viet Nam Cinematography Association in 2002.
The screening on January 25 will take place at the Viet Nam Feature Films Studio (VFS), 4 Thuy Khue Street, Tay Ho District, from 7.30-9pm. The movie will be presented in Vietnamese with English subtitle.
