Today is a lazy day. I will be flying out for Phu Quoc Island tomorrow, which is the main aim of this brief visit to Vietnam.
I watched a Vietnamese movie at the local shopping centre. There were Hollywood options but I chose to watch one made in Vietnam, with English subtitles of course. It’s called ‘Hiep Si Mu’ and it’s set in Saigon. Gangsters rule and their is a lot of Buddhist sentiment throughout, with the baddies finding themselves in the end and becoming good. I enjoyed the film. The quality of the production suggests Vietnamese cinema is accomplished and sophisticated.
