Best Motion Picture — Non-English Language

Inspired by the most famous Vietnamese literary classic of all time, The Tale of Kiều by poet Nguyễn Du, this female-driven film is a story of a filial daughter who agrees to wed a stranger to save her falsely imprisoned father and brother. Unbeknownst to her, this marriage is a deceitful façade to force her into sex labor at a brothel where her talent and beauty spawn cruel jealousy, unwanted obsession and lustful admiration. Pushed into an emotionally wicked and twisted journey, she must decide whether to fully accept or defiantly challenge her Fate in life. With lush cinematic work portraying achingly romantic landscapes of Vietnam, Kiều is a profound juxtaposition of the suffocating conditions of women in a feudal regime and the beautiful empowerment of human liberation.

Kiều was produced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the author’s passing and graced the silver screen for its U.S. premiere as the selected Vietnamese Spotlight film at this year’s Newport Beach Film Festival.

Kiều is directed by Mai Thu Huyền, produced by Tincom Media, with a US release by 3388 Films. The film is AVAILABLE NOW for streaming on Amazon and 3388cine.com.
