Family compact

	Tran Anh-hung
		However, when the cyclo's beautiful sister is forced into prostitution by the charismatic poet, the two siblings find themselves struggling to retain their humanity and dignity against an increasingly desperate and inescapable future in the underworld.
		Tran Anh-hung presents an evocative and harrowing portrait of corruption, alienation, and dissolution of family in Cyclo.
		However, unlike Luis Buñuel's use of surrealism to convey human absurdity, Tran's use of fantastic imagery reflects the filmmaker's own poignant sentiment on the inevitable self-destruction of his illusions towards his irreparably changed ancestral homeland.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		Tran said that his next feature would be based on recollections of his father.
		Tran was born in Vietnam in 1962 and moved with his family to Paris in 1975, where he's lived ever since, so he relates to his country of birth as both an insider and an outsider.
		I'm also less than comfortable with Tran Nu Yen Khe's nonstop goofy grin, which was also present throughout The Scent of Green Papaya, and which her husband at times seems to employ as an all-purpose piece of decor; nor do Iknow what to make of his compulsive use of fish and lizards.

	The Movie Chicks - Interview - Tran Anh Hung
		Tran: Yes, I gave one copy of the movie to the studio and they showed it at the theater until the film was worn out.
		Tran: The story shows the way they were educated - parents always hide their problems from the children because when children begin their love lives, they begin with naiveté and they can create their own problems - I find that beautiful that they don't start with the weight of the parents' mistakes.
		Tran: It opens in Japan on the first day of summer (because the title is 'Summer Solstice' in Japanese), but it has not opened anywhere else except Vietnam.

		Tran cued our emotional responses with comparisons using glimpses of frogs, plants, insects, fruit and birds that were often in the rain.
		In total opposition to his first film, Tran created a brutal and harsh story of the effects of violence and poverty on a struggling family in the city of Saigon.
		Tran Anh Hung was not averse to showing the urban decay of his birth country and did so in a pseudo-documentary style with minimal dialogue.

	Asian American Film: Reviews
		Without words, we gain intimacy with Khanh's husband Kien (Tran Manh Cuong) through his solitary writer's block quarantine: sitting, smoking, napping in his darkened house.
		Suong's husband (Chu Ngoc Hung) Quoc, an intense, somber-faced photographer, is on an excursion shooting the countryside when he's afflicted with a deep sadness.
		True to his word, Tran Anh Hung modulates the powerhouse scenes of revelation and confrontation with comic moments and some downtime simply watching the easy-on-the-eyes Lien dancing by herself.

	the iMAGAZINE - Anh Hung "Cyclo" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Cyclo, the title of Anh Hung's second tome and labour of love, is not a film for the faint-hearted.
		Visceral and tormented it is an acknowledgment and statement that speaks as much of a generation as it does a race of people, while recreating the primal nuances of concrete, fatigue, sweat, blood, innocence and corruption that holds Vietnam's population to ransom.
		Flawed, passionate and brutal, it is the bittersweet odyssey of violence intermingled with tenderness of a man and boy caught between the very veils of life and death.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - CYCLO- A film by Tran Anh Hung
		In Tran Anh Hung's 1995 film Cyclo, the cyclo driver is a naïve 18-year old (Le Van Loc) whose innocence is corrupted by the choices he is compelled to make to escape the circle of grinding poverty.
		Cyclo is forced to stay in an apartment away from his family and told to perform errands for the gang such as smuggling dope hidden in slaughtered cattle and throwing a gasoline firebomb into the building of the rival gang that stole his pedicab.
		Tran's vision is hallucinatory and unnerving and I often found myself unable to distinguish between what is real and what is a dream.

	Cyclo . Weekly Alibi . 04-16-97
		Director Tran Anh Hung, whose hypnotically visual Scent of the Green Papaya earned him the first ever Oscar nomination for a Vietnamese film, continues his ruminative and lavish style in Cyclo.
		Hung, however, holds the film together with his extraordinary ornate images--which serve as a juxtaposition to the hideous and unforgiving urban world in which his subjects live.
		Hung's hovering camera eye captures the dreary reality with stark rich colors, continually reminding the viewer of the beauty the characters will never see.

	Amazon.com: The Scent of Green Papaya (1994) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		With a bare minimum of dialogue, Tran brings to the screen the story of Mui, a 10 year old Vietnamese girl who comes from the country to Saigon in the early 1950's as a live-in servant to an upper-class family whose wealth is being squandered by the dissolute and womanizing head of the house.
		The dialog is sparse and the beauty dense in director Anh Hung Tran's portrait of a young servant girl in 1951 Saigon and those she serves.
		Tran moves forward in time 10 years and beautiful Tran Nu Yen-Khe is Mui, now serving a young and upper class French conservatory student.

		Cyclo is a survey of a society in decay, in which conventional plotting gives way to a series of enigmatic episodes and haunting observations.
		Hung's vision may be dispiritingly bleak, but his filmmaking is vivid and inventive.
		Each shot is distinguished by a particular quality of lighting, framing, or texture that lifts it out of the ordinary and into the realm of the strange, ravishing, and insinuating.

		Doch als die Schuld beglichen ist und der Cyclo mit seinen Verbrechen mehr Geld verdient, als er jemals zuvor besessen hat, findet er Gefallen an der Existenz als Gangster und ersucht darum, in die Gang des Poeten aufgenommen zu werden.
		Er weiß jedoch nicht, dass seine Schwester (Tran Nu Yên Khê) dem Poeten längst verfallen ist und sich aus Liebe zu ihm prostituiert…
		Was auf den ersten Blick sicherlich reichlich Potenzial für eine dröge Sozialstudie aufweist, wird in der bildgewaltigen Inszenierung Trans zum fiebrigen Großstadtfilm, der jedoch hinter dem stets präsenten Straßenlärm von Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt auch immer wieder leise Momente ungeahnter Melancholie aufspürt.
