- Synopsis
- A haunting portrait of a woman’s struggle with loss and personal sacrifice during the war. When The Tenth Month Comes is a lyrical vision of the endurance of Vietnamese women from one of Vietnam’s most renowned directors, Dang Nhat Minh. In the final days of the war, a beautiful young woman, Duyen, faces a daily struggle to take care of her young son and ailing father-in-law, all the while hiding from them the fact that her husband has recently been killed in a battle. Keeping her secret burden to herself, she is befriended by the village schoolmaster, Zhang, who agrees to fabricate letters from her dead husband in order to spare her family sorrow. As their friendship deepens, Duyen and Zhang find themselves drawn closer to intimacy. The movie’s title refers to the month in which the “Day of Forgiveness” occurs; a time when it is said that departed souls may visit loved ones still living.
Winner of the Special Jury Award at the 1985 Hawaii International Film Festival.
Voted by CNN in Sep 2008 as one of the best 18 Asian films of all time.
