In order to support his family, the cyclo immerses himself in a violent gang, and begins committing petty crimes. After entering this seedy underworld the young man discovers that his sister already belongs to it, selling her body to sexual deviants. As a result, each sibling's innocence is shattered, representing the moral and physical collapse of the city they reside in. [More]

Reviews for Cyclo
Just as impressive as his feature debut Scent of the Green Papayas, as a poetic study of survival in modern and ravished Vietnam, Cyclo will be compared to De Sica's post- WWII classic Bicycle Thief.
Liquids become the motif d’abus of the film: water, blood, vomit, sweat, oil, urine, humidity, and paint.
La narrativa y la historia son perfectamente aplicables a la realidad social de nuestra ciudad, y la dinámica visual que presenta es digna de verse.
This powerful film offers Westerners a potent dosage of what life is like in a Third World country, a country most Americans only envision in a depersonalized way.
