250. Sandy lives (1999)


Country: Vietnam
Directed by Nguyen Thanh Van

One of the good moments of the modern Vietnamese cinema, although old fashioned in style ( if you would guess you would say that it belongs to early 80's ), 'Sandy lives' delivers an autentic documentary-like touch when at the same time it's a melodrama that uses every possible dramatic trick, but not the cheap ones, to get you emotionally involved. 'Sandy lives', more than anything else, is a touching movie, full of compassion for all its characters, not any judgement, as all of them suffered a lot, as the side victimes of the traumatizing Vietnamese history
