Movie 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.

Editorial reviews
"...Tranquilly beautiful....THE SCENT OF GREEN PAPAYA marks a luxuriant, visually seductive debut for Mr. Hung..." New York Times - Janet Maslin (10/11/1993)
"...Distinct and underivative. This is a remarkably confident and achieved debut feature..." Sight and Sound - Tony Rayns (04/01/1994)
"...Diaphonous....You feel almost like one of the film's many secretive, peeping characters." -- Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly - Caren Weiner (11/17/1995)
"...GREEN PAPAYA marries nature and artifice....Hung Tran Anh wholly entrances the viewer with lovely, incremental detail..." Film Comment - Kathleen Murphy (11/01/1993)
"...A film as delicate and evocative as its name....Ravishing..." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (02/02/1994)
"...A film of great visual beauty; watching it is like seeing a poem for the eyes..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (03/11/1994)
"...Possibly the most purely sensual piece of cinema since DAYS OF HEAVEN..." USA Today - Mike Clark (03/24/1995)
