" Paradise of the Blind" is an exquisite portrait of three Vietnamese women struggling to survive in a society where subservience to men is expected and Communist corruption crushes every dream. Through the eyes of Hang, a young woman in her twenties who has grown up amidst the slums and intermittent beauty of Hanoi, we come to know the tragedy of her family as land reform rips apart their village. When her uncle Chinh's political loyalties replace family devotion, Hang is torn between her mother's appalling self-sacrifice and the bitterness of her aunt who can avenge but not forgive. Only by freeing herself from the past will Hang be able to find dignity -- and a future. ""

Banned in its own country (Vietnam) due to the description of communist corruptions — didn’t the leaders themselves admit their errors?
評分Three women at a hard time. One is Mother Que whose leniency teaches her to forgive and forget the atrocities committed by Uncle Chinh. One is Aunt Tam who harbours hatred towards such a criminal but nurses a hope for her beloved. Another is Hang, wavering between but tends to struggle for her liberty.
