Entertainment Reviews:
...Possibly the most purely sensual piece of cinema since DAYS OF HEAVEN...
USA Today
Rating: B+ --
A terrific film, one of tremendous visual beauty, but one that steers clear of any overt political messages.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
...Distinct and underivative. This is a remarkably confident and achieved debut feature...
Sight and Sound
...A film as delicate and evocative as its name....Ravishing...
Los Angeles Times
...A film of great visual beauty; watching it is like seeing a poem for the eyes...
Chicago Sun-Times
...GREEN PAPAYA marries nature and artifice....Hung Tran Anh wholly entrances the viewer with lovely, incremental detail...
Film Comment
...Diaphonous....You feel almost like one of the film's many secretive, peeping characters. -- Rating: B+

Product Description:
In 1950s Saigon, Mui, a 10 year-old peasant girl, goes to work as a servant for a merchant family. Quiet, well-mannered, and almost supernaturally observant of the most minute and beautiful details that life has to offer, she grows into a young woman who is as much a part of the somewhat dysfunctional family as the real members themselves. As the family runs out of money, she is sent to work for a family friend, a young man whom she has known since she was a child and whom she secretly loves. Beautifully photographed, the film was the winner of the Camera d'Or at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival. Academy Award Nomination: Best Foreign Language Film.
