Watch Three Seasons For Free

Simply Perfect

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

this is really and absolutely, the art.. i dropped a few tears because of what i had seen.. lotus flowers, river, yellow leaves, and the music. that was a perfect final. tony is not only a director, he is also a poet and a painter..

There are several story lines in the film which seldom or never cross. So just relax and let the film unfold with beautiful photography of contemporary Vietnam. You will see Ho Chi Min City and the countryside. A rather poetic film.

Slow moving, this film evokes an atmosphere rather than explains everything that happens. It helps to have lived in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) to understand all the strange customs. There are some unlikely story threads, the cyclo race, being able to afford to stay (or even being allowed to stay) in the New World Hotel. But all in all, a beautiful film. My Vietnamese wife enjoyed it also.

Excellent direction, photography, music and a very touching story. In our affluent western society we tend to forget who we are and where we come from. "Three seasons" is like a little bit of fresh air in a closed room, a new window where there was none. "Life as it is", that's the words that pop into my head. People should see it, with an open heart and with an open mind.
