Reviews

t-bogataj I found this film to be an extremely pleasant experience. In spite of all the misery an social entrapment of main characters (with the exception of "the American"), the film is warm and optimistic. Nice and non-pretentious - this being a quality. Does not seek for answers, causes, or reasons. Does not judge actions or characters themselves. Does not impose authors' views.Excellent photography. Consistent cut. Adequate tempo. You will not like it if you are a fast food fan.And by the way,, Harvey K., "the American", is really not necessary for the film... only adds some flavour.

doreimon i was not really into art films had not my anthro class required me to watch the film Three Seasons. Initial impression: Subtle, Asian version of Magnolia. Although Magnolia gave a hard stroke on American life and beauty by presenting brutish and twisted lives of different people, Three Seasons was softer and was more focused on redemption and search for contentment and happiness in life through a plain yet colorful lives of different Vietnamese and an American. The pictures were astonishing and moving--you feel what you see and it was such an enigma to evoke such essence of a story without flooding the whole of the movie with rhetorical lines and words. the enigma i felt was the same when i watched Magnolia but i think i love this movie more than it. Three Seasons did not have enough words but the pictures were really great. i personally love the song of Kien An and the petal shower before the story ends--they were so impressing. The biggest lesson i got in the story is that dreams somehow and someday will come true, our search for happiness and contentment will end in a different way we intended. i have to thank my anthro professor, i have to thank Three Seasons. ;-)

gordon-31 There are several story lines in the film which seldom or never cross. So just relax and let the film unfold with beautiful photography of contemporary Vietnam. You will see Ho Chi Min City and the countryside. A rather poetic film.

junior-17 A young girl that harvests and sells lotus flowers; a professor that lives hidden because of his illness; a cycle-driver that falls in love with a prostitute; an American former-soldier who came back to China to look for his daughter; a lovely street boy that sells gadgets... In "Three Seasons", these histories construct a gorgeous picture of the human nature. "The rain of red petals" and "the lotus flowers going down to the river" are two of the most beautiful scenes I've already seen in cinema. 10/10
