It is French Colonial Vietnam in 1929. A young French girl from a family that is having some monetary difficulties is returning to boarding school. She is alone on public transportation when she catches the eye of a wealthy Chinese businessman. He offers her a ride into town in the back of his chauffeured sedan, and sparks fly. Can the torrid affair that ensues between them overcome the class restrictions and social mores of that time? Based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras.

He's 30 and he looks like he's 18 '-' Being a half caste looking at my moms side and her siblings is that they are young looking even though my aunts and uncles are in their late 40s to 50s... - @Tuesday, September 5, 2017 12:20 AM

She was presumptuous, naively cruel, racist and callous. He would have made a great husband had she loved him. She didn't deserve him. Her tears at the end are only for the adventure he gave her that she will miss, but she did not miss him. - @Friday, February 17, 2017 5:29 PM

The movie would be better with a happy ending, in which he married her or something. But since it was based on a real story... even more sad. - @Wednesday, May 27, 2015 9:02 PM

great movie, asian men always get down played in hollywood, movies didn't get great reviews from critics because its a asian man and a white woman, if it was vice versa it would be okay. *just open pandora box for crazy comments* =) - @Tuesday, July 15, 2014 10:18 PM
