The Backstage Slap

2002 · 83 min

A quiet, talky reunion drama where old wounds and faded romance simmer behind the making of a play.

Directed by
Tất Bình
Genres
Drama
Overview
A theater troupe reunites in excitement for a new production after having been out of work for a long time, with the performers and their mentor having gone their separate ways to make ends meet. But the bitter fallout from the failed romance between the lead actor and the lead actress—a romance as long ago as her famously beautiful hair—threatens the play's success.
