Krigets sorger

1995 · 50 min

A quiet, sorrowful conversation that lingers on loss and memory, asking you to sit with discomfort rather than spectacle.

Overview
Bao Ninh's novel "Krigets sorger/The Sorrows of the War" deals with how the Vietnamese themselves perceived the war. A low-key and desperate picture, far from the heroic self-sacrificing struggle that those in power like to emphasize.
