  • Overview

    This foreign, English-subtitled film dramatizes the effect of the Vietnam War on a single South Vietnamese family, the inner conflict of decisions by each member of the family whether to remain in Vietnam or leave with the imminent advance and fall of Hue and eventual fall of Vietnam. Dat Kho, who's cast includes the beloved Vietnamese inconic anti-war songwriter/poet/artist Trinh Cong Son (1939-2001) who posthumously won the World Peace Music Award in 2004, is a story of the love of family, love of homeland, love of the culture and language of Vietnam and the ethereal love of the ingenue daughter for her fiance, foiled by the antagonistic forces of the ever-present war. A thought-provoking film.

By the late 50s, camera equipment was affordable and readily available, so amateur "Blue" movies were produced in abundance. This collection turns up the "raunch" factor considerably. The camera lingers on the naked bodies, slowly covering every square inch of fleshy real estate. Bizarre camera angles abound as well as unbelievable close-ups where a crotch or a nipple fills the entire screen. Obviously, there is never a shortage of beautiful models prepared to go before the cameras and leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!
