Cu Li Never Cries (Cu Li Không Bao Giờ Khóc) [In-Person]

Directed By Phạm Ngọc Lân

Vietnam, Singapore, France, the Philippines, Norway | Narrative | 93 min

This screening will be followed by a filmmaker Q&A.

A woman tries to cling onto dimming links to her past after inheriting a pygmy slow loris from her long-estranged husband; meanwhile, her niece prepares for marriage as the young couple ponders their uncertain future together. The present and the complex echoes of Vietnamese history intertwine with a contemplative and poetic perspective.
