Entertainment Reviews:
...A film as delicate and evocative as its name....Ravishing...
Los Angeles Times
The romance does not develop until late in this deliberate but surprisingly beautiful film by Vietnam's Tran Anh Hung.

...Diaphonous....You feel almost like one of the film's many secretive, peeping characters. -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: B+ --
A terrific film, one of tremendous visual beauty, but one that steers clear of any overt political messages.

...Tranquilly beautiful....THE SCENT OF GREEN PAPAYA marks a luxuriant, visually seductive debut for Mr. Hung...
New York Times
...GREEN PAPAYA marries nature and artifice....Hung Tran Anh wholly entrances the viewer with lovely, incremental detail...

Here is a film so placid and filled with sweetness that watching it is like listening to soothing music.

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.
