197. The white-eye bird (1962)


Country: Vietnam
Directed by Nguyen Van Thong and Tran Vu

Is difficult to have an accurate idea about a film that you watched without English subtitles so without to be able to undedstand the dialogues. However, "The white-eye bird" is a classic film glorifying the struggle of Vietnamese people against colonialism with a beautiful black and white photography,  lyricism, a strikingly cute young girl as a heroine, and a nice melodramatic end (taking aside the rather annoying music). Sure, it looks old fashioned and childish at times but still I thought that it coudn't be ommited from this list
