Three Seasons on AllMovie

The first American independent film to be shot on location in Vietnam, with a largely Vietnamese cast, Three Seasons is a story of five people in post-war Saigon and how their lives come together. Kien An (Nguyen Ngoc Hiep) is a flower seller who tends lotus blossom in a garden owned by a poet suffering from leprosy. Lan (Zoe Bui) is a prostitute trying to emotionally escape from her unhappy life. Hai (Don Duong) is a cyclo driver who loves Lan and tries to protect her from her customers. Woody (Nguyen Huu Duoc) is a homeless child looking for his stolen belongings. And James (Harvey Keitel, who also executive produced) is a former American Marine searching for the daughter he left behind. Director Bui, who was born in Vietnam but raised in the United States, captures the exotic beauty of Vietnam with a sense of romanticism and grace.
