Three Seasons

DIRECTED BY: Tony Bui

REVIEWED: 06-28-99

Extremely beautiful cinematography doesn't quite make up for the trite stories in this Saigon-slice-of-life piece. A young woman who begins work at a lotus-blossom farm, a bicycle-taxi driver and a 10-year-old street urchin all encounter compelling others in the streets of modern Vietnam. Harvey Keitel does a long vanity bit about a former Marine searching for his daughter, and there's a hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold piece, but the show stealer is the story of the flower girl. Serene shots of lakes filled with blossoms and the women who row out to pick them make this a relaxing, if not entirely engaging, effort.
