Vietnamese-American Tony Bui's film THREE SEASONS has the distinction of being the first American production to shoot in Vietnam since the war. A cinematic tone-poem that works more as a reflective mood piece than a traditional story, Bui's lyrical script and Lisa Rinzler's magical cinematography combine to create an original, lasting motion picture. Set in modern-day Ho Chi Minh City, the film is a triptych of stories about characters dealing with loss and redemption: an American veteran (Harvey Keitel) searches for a daughter he fathered during the Vietnam War; a young woman harvests lotus blossoms for a reclusive leper-poet; and a lonely cyclo driver offers love to a world-weary prostitute. The three stories subtly converge to deliver a portrait of a strife-worn society attempting to heal itself. [More]
