UPLOAD: The Girl on the River (1987)
At last, here is the conclusion to my uploads of Dang Nhat Minh's films. This one is his third film, The Girl on the River.
"A woman reporter named Lien interviews a former wartime prostitute
from South Vietnam named Nguyet, now a patient in a hospital, about her
brief sheltering of an injured Vietcong leader during the war. Much of
the story is told in flashback, lyrically recounting Nguyet’s risk of
her own life to hide the soldier on her boat on the Perfumed River in
central Vietnam, their brief affair, and his promise, just before he has
to flee the military police, to return to her. When Lien goes back to
the hospital the next day, she hears the rest of Nguyet’s story: another
extended flashback shows Nguyet’s search for her former lover after the
war, made all the more poignant by the fact that she doesn’t even know
his name. One day, long after she’s given up prostitution to work on the
roads in a transportation unit, she sees him pass by in the back of a
car — her first indication that he’s still alive, and living somewhere
in the same town. Spotting him again later, she follows him into a
government building and tries to see him, only to be told by an
intermediary that she’s mistaken him for someone else."
