Le-Van Kiet : 2014
Gentle
A husband sits over the body of his young wife, who has just committed suicide, and recalls their relationship. Gentle and sensitive Linh grew up in a home where she wasn't treated well. Thien, a pawnshop owner, married Linh and took the parentless girl away from her abusive aunt in order to give her a better life. They were happy at first. With time, Thien demanded more devotion and obedience. Harshness, a lack of feelings and communication made them grow apart. Mental abuse and growing loneliness has led Linh to her tragic end. Capturing the tough and cynical nature of modern life and the cold-bloodedness of capitalists whose only obsession is money, the story is based on the novella A Gentle Creature by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Le-Van Kiet's feature premiered at Busan International Film Festival 2014, and had its European premiere at Warsaw Film Festival 2014.
