Cyclo

Cyclo (Vietnamese: Xích Lô [sɨt̚˦˥ lo˧˧]) is a 1995 film by Tran Anh Hung. It stars Lê Văn Lộc, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Trần Nữ Yên Khê. The film depicts the difficult lives of the labor force in early 1990s Ho Chi Minh City, and how people fall under the influence of crime. The film is considered hard to understand because of abstract and wordless communication. However, in a review, Janet Maslin asserted that this style, which is typical of the director, made the movie more memorable and successful. The film won the Golden Lion at the 52nd Venice International Film Festival.
