Floating Lives (Cánh dong bat tan) - 2010 - Nguyen Phan Quang Binh


Impressive Vietnamese film about a 'timeless' Vietnam - a family out in the remote countryside living as rural Vietnamese have lived for generations, facing the same universal problems.

Not to ruin the plot, but to give you some idea of it, a father and his two children survive on the Mekong River and take in a woman who has been brutally beaten by villagers for promiscuity. As the film develops you learn the backgrounds of all the characters.
