22. Cyclo (1995)


Country: Vietnam
Directed by Tran Anh Hung

I didn't really like the film. I find it fake, with a catchy but unrealistic plot, directed with a style that is heavy influenced by the kind of European cinema that I don't really appreciate, with the way that hardly you can call the movie Asian. However, I chose to include it in this list , as still has it's good moments, it portrays Ho Chi Minh city during most of it's length and is a rare representative of Vietnamese movies,  as is really difficult to have access to them and to have a picture of what's going on in contemporary Vietnamese cinema
