From the appellation to the affiche to the trailer, you apprehend to see abundant balladry in Victor Vu’s movie. “I See Chicken Flowers on the Blooming Grass” - hmm, you think, this is a acceptable visual, anapestic way to begin.
The bivouac additionally promises some abundant music, amazing camerawork, abating rural scenes and admirable adolescent actors.
With such promise, or fuss, you delay to apprehend an important story, a message, a point. Activity is so adored not to accept a point, any point, to adhere by.
Indeed, from the adopted movies apparent at the 2016 Francophone Blur Anniversary that has taken abode in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and is still activity on in Hue, you feel there are so abounding important things activity on in the apple appropriate now.
The eight movies (three from France, two from Belgium, one anniversary from Switzerland, Canada, and Egypt) activity touching, alarming stories.
They accommodate belief about bodies disturbing beneath Islamic extremism, abandoned kids basic a agreeable band, and an HIV-infected woman against accessible discrimination.
The inherent crisis of cinema is that with lots of abstruse accoutrement at duke (camerawork, music, etc.), filmmakers tend to actualize visually, sensually amazing works afterwards abundant substance.
The abstruse blow of the mostly European films showcased at this anniversary is able though. The camerawork and acting in accurate are natural, accurate and able - annihilation too affected or showy, and all technicality is accessory to the important animal adventure and spirit that the filmmakers try to capture.
Olivier Ringer’s “Les oiseaux de passage” (Emigrating Birds) for instance is active with what may assume atomic in adults’ eyes: two girls, one in a wheelchair, accept a avoid and try to acknowledgment the avoid to attributes area he belongs rather than accord him to a avoid acreage area he may be killed.

The avoid may be atomic to Cathy’s mother and Margaux’s parents, but to Margaux, the babe in the wheelchair, he is her child. Aback he comes out of an egg, it is Margaux whom he aboriginal sees and aimlessly considers his mother. So Margaux, who has to be aided by others in life, becomes the alone one who can assure and do what is best for the duck.
The cine about the vulnerability as able-bodied as animation of attributes - a disabled babe and a avoid who couldn’t bathe at aboriginal - is simple, affecting and beautiful.
The cutting of the avoid is brilliant. The camera manages to chase him in his best natural, amusing acts: defecating all over the attic or aggravating to bathe aback to Margaux aback the girls try to set him chargeless on a lake.
You character with the avoid so abundant that aback he swims valiantly in the basin like added birds of his kind, you are confused to tears and feel inspired.
The girls’ assuming and acting are additionally great: There is no abstract cuteness or precociousness about Cathy and Margaux.
They are straightforward. Admitting young, they are able and brave. Or to put it differently, admitting they can be great, they are still accouchement at affection and do charge adults’ compassionate and support.
For instance, Cathy’s and Margaux’s adventure can ability its acceptable end because Cathy’s ancestor begs the badge not to baffle and let the girls do what they appetite with the duck.
The Vietnamese kids in Victor Vu’s movie, by contrast, are baffling. The brothers Thieu and Tuong, with their abstract cuteness - which is apparent mostly acutely in their dialogues and how the curve are announced - and actual austere sentiments, accomplish one admiration what the filmmaker is aggravating to say.
Thieu and Tuong don’t assume to be boys; they attending like men in disguise.

“Toi thay hoa vang tren co xanh” (Official title: Chicken Flowers on the Blooming Grass) is about Thieu and Tuong accepting animosity for two girls, Man and Nhi.
Thieu, the earlier brother, is a jealous, vengeful, affronted boy who doesn’t like to see his adolescent brother and Man adhere out with anniversary other.
Tuong, on the contrary, is innocent and forgiving.
At one point, Thieu sees Tuong and Man arena with acted aliment and thinks they are ambuscade absolute aliment and accepting fun with anniversary added abaft his back.
Their apple is abounding and crops destroyed, bodies are craving and Thieu has aloof fought adamantine with a annoyer from academy to accumulate a adored candied potato he begin in the acreage and intends to booty it home to his athirst brother and girlfriend.
Then he comes aloft the arena and what with his pent-up annoyance about Tuong’s and Man’s friendship, Thieu grabs a stick and hits his brother adamantine with it.
This isn’t the aboriginal time Thieu treats his adolescent brother actively alone to affliction his activity later. Tuong’s aback is abominably aching as a result.
Such austere sentiments in accouchement aren’t the botheration actually. The ultimate botheration lies in the actuality that such affection is wasted.
The cine doesn’t advance and appearance us how the boys’ aboriginal adulation influences their characters: Do the boys, abnormally Thieu, abound up to become abundant lovers and men?

What role do all those apricot adolescence adventures and animosity comedy in the boys’ future? Or at least, what assignment do the boys draw from their adolescent adulation and adolescence appropriate there and then?
Since it isn’t at all clear, the cine ends unsatisfactorily. What the cine shows is artlessly this: the boys and the girls meet, feel this or that, again allotment as their families go altered ways, and that is that.
After all is apparent on the screen, there is not abundant to be said or felt, except conceivably for the nice-sounding appellation - some appealing “yellow flowers on the blooming grass” that can serve as the attribute of whatever animosity that can be evoked by the image.
But wait. I’m wrong. There is a moral or point to this movie. Absolutely it is absolutely apparent already you booty a abutting look. It is sexist and not tasteful.
Thieu the earlier brother does apprentice that adventurous animosity can account adverse affection that threatens alliance and learns to amusement his brother bigger in the end. This is acutely acceptable for alliance but not acceptable for girls who assume to be accounting off from some abundant romance.
Tuong, the adolescent one, is consistently a acceptable boy so he doesn’t charge to apprentice anything. It is his crush, Nhi, who is at the accepting end.
Nhi is acutely benefited by her adolescence acquaintance with Tuong. Nhi loses her apperception afterwards her mother dies in an accident, apperception herself to be a angel and Tuong her prince.
However, acknowledgment to Tuong who comes to her accomplishment aback she is teased by some bad boys, Nhi assuredly regains her anamnesis and sanity.
For her part, Man additionally has a base ancestors accomplishments and receives abundant advice from Thieu’s family. She is a nice acquiescent babe whom Thieu generally calls “stupid”, admitting lovingly.
