This is the official information announced at the press conference in Tokyo on July 31. According to Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Nguyen Quoc Cuong, Vietnam annually screens around 300 foreign movies, including 10 Japanese ones. However, only a few Vietnamese films hit cinemas in Japan, he noted. He hoped more Vietnamese films would come to Japanese people in the coming time.
Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass is a state-commissioned film, produced by Viet Nam’s Galaxy Media and Entertainment and the Culture, Sports, and Tourism Ministry’s Cinematography Department. Based on the novel by best-selling author Nguyen Nhat Anh, the film is set in the mid-1980s in a small village, telling the story of two young brothers who share everything, but compete for the affection of the same girl.
The “Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass” film is some great music, breathtaking camera work, heart-warming rural scenes and cute child actors.
