Scent of Green Papaya, The Blu-ray/DVD (Kino)
RELEASE DATE: April 26, 2011
In this Academy Award Nominated film (available for the first time on Blu-ray AND in its original theatrial aspect ratio), little things mean a lot in the world of 10-year-old Mui, a girl who’s trained to be a house servant in 1950s Vietnam. As Mui grows up in pre-war Saigon, she finds quiet love with a family friend. Dialogue seems almost tertiary in this film that celebrates the senses, as the young girl discovers the world around her and marvels at every new sight, sound and scent she experiences while going about her workday life.
