The Vertical Ray of the Sun

This film is just an elegant lyrical nothing. That is, assuming you're not a poetic soul who doesn't understand the story and can enjoy the whispering of the wind, snowy sights, and slow camera. I wonder who could find joy in The Vertical Ray of the Sun? If you're not familiar with foreign cultures, you won't learn much about Vietnam, and what the film tells you will still be far from reality if you happen to visit the country as a tourist and compare the film experience with the lives and hustle and bustle of ordinary Vietnamese and urban life.
