If you liked last year’s The Taste of Things, catch the director’s stunning 1993 period drama on a 35mm film print. An international hit on release, Tran Anh Hung’s film builds an evocative and thoughtful portrait of Vietnam before the American invasion. The Scent of Green Papaya follows Mui, a 10-year-old domestic worker whose innocent fascination with her surroundings gives her solace from her employers’ increasingly pressing problems. Don’t miss this poetic ode to the details of daily life and the bond between women.
