Review of When the Tenth Month Comes (1984) by Edgar C — 31 Dec 2012
Cinema like it was meant to be: human, pure, sentimental and honest, like a love letter to life itself despite its unintentional betrayals and hardships. Hope is the last thing to die and it is most definitely irrational, yet that was exactly the purpose of Nhat Minh Dang: to praise the irrationality of hope and the strength beneath awaken by it in spite of exterior disapproval, all of this through the eyes of a naive and faithful woman. Add to that a brief role of a non-human entity: tradition. You got yourself in the end a beautiful masterwork of poetry.
97/100.
