Song Lang

AroView: 1980s Saigon is beautifully evoked in this striking tale of an unlikely friendship (and possible love affair) between two men from similar backgrounds whose lives have taken two very different paths – one as a violent debt collector, the other as a performer in a traveling Cai-luong (traditional folk opera) troupe. . Both the melodramatic and subtle aspects of the relationship are reflected through authentic presentations of Cai-luong.

“A melancholy, romantic evocation of Saigon in the 1980s, Song Lang is also a beautifully pitched paen to a fading art form.” ~ Hayley Scanlon, Windows on Worlds
