About this product

Product Information

In 1950s Saigon, Mui, a 10 year-old peasant girl, goes to work as a servant for a merchant family. Quiet, well-mannered, and almost supernaturally observant of the most minute and beautiful details that life has to offer, she grows into a young woman who is as much a part of the somewhat dysfunctional family as the real members themselves. As the family runs out of money, she is sent to work for a family friend, a young man whom she has known since she was a child and whom she secretly loves. Beautifully photographed, the film was the winner of the Camera d'Or at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival. Academy Award Nomination: Best Foreign Language Film.

  • You won't be disappointed! A must watch movie!

    I had rented this a very long time ago from a video store on VHS in the foreign section and fell in love with it. I was able to eventually find a copy of it on DVD, but unfortunately, it stopped playing. That brought me to this purchase. It is of very good quality, both sound and picture quality. It is also a very good price for such a wonderful movie. It is a beautiful story of a young girl who is sent to be a servant for a family in Saigon in the 1950's. The setting and all of the very fine details really makes you feel like you are there living in the moment with the girl and seeing and feeling all of her life through her eyes. It takes you through her life as she grows up and all of the challenges she faces and the story of her falling in love with someone above her social class. It is a wonderful story. You won't be disappointed!
