Given an edge of radical newness by its frank, grimily beautiful portrayal of gay lovemaking (seldom have the body-contouring properties of coal dust on sweat-slicked skin been more sensuously explored), still, the rhythms of Truong\u2019s film are slow, and the curtains-drawn darkness of much of its 16mm imagery may induce a state of meandering, semi-directed sleepiness. But then perhaps Truong does not mean us to watch \u201cViet and Nam\u201d so much as he wants us doze and dream our way in and out of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It is 2001 and Nam (Pham Thanh Hai) and Viet (Dao Duy Bao Dinh) \u2014 never distinctly identified as such within the film and given a joint \u201cNam\/Viet\u201d credit in the closing scroll \u2014 are two young coalminers in rural Vietnam involved in a tender but illicit relationship. Deep underground, in the sepulchral privacy of a nook carved out from the mine walls, they make love and cradle each other, anthracite sparkling around them like starlight. Son Doan\u2019s subterranean, homesick, black-and-blue cinematography can be so shadowy as to be all but impenetrable, but sometimes out of the murk emerge frames of breathtaking loveliness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Nam is intending to smuggle himself out of Vietnam, taking a perilous route involving a shady broker, a shipping container and a river crossing wr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed in a plastic shroud. Viet fears for him and wants him to stay, yet is also achingly resigned to his leaving. But before Nam goes, there are mysteries that need solving right here, chief among them the fate of his long-dead father, a soldier who might not have even been aware that he had a baby son at the time of his death. Along with his mother Hoa (Nguyen Thi Nga) and Ba (Le Viet Tung), a military veteran who may know where Nam\u2019s father fell in battle, Nam and Viet go on an expedition toward the Cambodian border, in the slim hope of finding the dead man\u2019s remains, guided mostly by Hoa\u2019s dreams of her revenant husband and Ba\u2019s hazy, possibly guilt-ridden memories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    They are far from the only family to have embarked on such a pilgrimage. Television <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> broadcasts list missing \u201cmartyrs\u201d whose kin are begging for information that might help them locate their loved ones\u2019 bodies. And Nam\u2019s party encounters another group, who have engaged the services of a psychic (Khanh Ngan) in white face paint and a pink silk robe, who may be a charlatan but claims, un-disprovably, that the clumps of clay she claws out of the ground are in fact the sought-after man\u2019s flesh, \u201cturned into black dirt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Dead men turn into dirt. Dirt is compressed into coal. Coal is mined and burned and turned into smoke that acidifies the rain that floods the caverns and swells the rivers, drowning the unlucky and soaking through the market goods Hoa sells for her meager living. \u201cViet and Nam\u201d has an environmental aspect that has less to do with the circle of life than the inexorable circle of death, in which the occasional moments of levity \u2014 Nam giving Viet a birthday cake or tenderly preparing the mosquito net around Hoa\u2019s bed \u2014 barely provide a pinprick of light in the gloom. Truong\u2019s approach is ostensibly similar to that of Thai master Apichtpong Weerasethakul and of last year\u2019s Vietnamese Camera d\u2019Or winner \u201cInside the Yellow Cocoon Shell.\u201d But while those touchpoints achieve a kind of transcendent lightness, \u201cViet and Nam\u201d is constantly pulled down at the edges, made heavy with foreboding and waterlogged with generational sorrow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Apichatpong, especially, likes to infuse his dreamscapes with the idea of the dead walking and talking, co-existing amongst the living. Truong, by contrast, is endlessly preoccupied with how the living, even when planning for the future or experiencing the joys and passions of the present, are forever being lured into joining the dead. It means \u201cViet and Nam\u201d makes demands on even the most patient of viewers if they\u2019re in any way resistant to the hypnotizing effect of its difficult, doom-laden atmospherics. But it does exert a powerful \u2014 if not exactly cheerful \u2014 gravity on those who can give themselves over to its persuasively pessimistic view of a national history that even this young, vigorous, loving pair can only stay on top of for so long, before it engulfs them, and pulls them down, under the sea or under the soil, into the clammy embrace of the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
