I liked the part with the cicadas.
A slow stroll through beautiful visuals, calm atmosphere, and the gentle sound of a đàn nguyệt.
Extremely light on plot and structure, but consistently enjoyable. The last act did fall apart a little when it became a sort of rushed, melodramatic montage, almost devoid of dialogue. I much prefered Man San Lu's great, natural performance as Mùi, to Tran Nu Yên-Khê's vaguely unsettling expressions and demure posturing.
Lots of satisfyingly presented cooking and mundane chores, bringing to mind a Ghibli movie. I particularly enjoyed the way ambient sounds like cicadas and rainfall were mixed, sometimes verging on overpowering the dialogue but in a way that felt intentional.
The use of a sound stage was obvious, but the sets looked fairly good and some of the camera movements allowed by missing rear walls worked quite well. I also liked the use of windows and doorways in framing shots, which complemented the semi-open feeling of traditional Vietnamese architecture.
For some reason the synopsis on SBS On Demand said this was about a girl who gets married and learns to play the piano, but only half of that is even implied to have happened, off-screen, in the final two minutes of the movie.
The Scent of Green Papaya is more accurately about the life of a girl in 50's and 60's Saigon and not a lot else. That it even takes place against the backdrop of the First Indochina War is only hinted at by the occasional sound of passing aircraft or curfew sirens.
A pleasant, serene movie. Very good.

그린 파파야 향기(The Scent Of Green Papaya/ Mui Du Du Xanh : L'Odeur De La Papaye Verte, 1994)
ⓒWATCHA
/자극적인 장면 하나 없이 너무 티 없는 영화.
나는 의외로 음식 장면보다 이 장면이 좋았다. 10년간 모신 마님의 가족을 떠나, 첫째 도련님의 친구인 ‘쿠엔’의 하녀로 들어간 ‘무이’. 무이에겐 첫사랑이지. 그리고 ‘쿠엔’도 감정을 키워나가다가 어느 한 밤엔 ‘무이’의 방에 들어갈지 말지 계속 고민하다가 들어간 장면. 그 떨림과 설렘과 두려움이 느껴져서. 약혼녀에게 무이가 싸대기는 맞았지만(...) 쿠엔이 좋다는데 어쩔겨! 약혼녀가 화나는 건 충분히 이해하지만 ‘무이’가 행복했으면 됐어! 그러다 ‘하녀는 믿으면 안 된다’고 옛날부터 하녀에 대한 속설이 많았다는 것도 기억난다. 일리가 없는 말은 아니었네요. 껄껄.
아무것도 모른 채 도시로 일하러 온 10살짜리 꼬맹이 ‘무이’의 성장 이야기라고 보면 된다. 1950~1960년대의 베트남 정경을 보는 것도 흥미로웠다. 음악을 경쾌하게 깔지 않고 긴장감 넘치는 피아노곡으로만 깐 것도 인상 깊다. 무슨 사건이 일어날 것처럼. 베트남 부모님을 둔 다문화 가정인 한 지인도 떠오르고. (그런데 그 친구는 너무 K-감성이라 같이 있으면 다문화 가정이란 생각이 전혀 안 든다.)
주인마님의 정 많은 모습도 흐뭇했고 ‘모든 가정엔 일정한 불행이 존재한다’라는 생각도 들고. 예전에 보려다가 계속 미뤄뒀는데 ‘왓챠(WATCHA)’의 여름 작품 추천 목록에 있길래 다시 생각나서 봤다. 오늘 치과 가서 음주하면 안 된다는 말 듣고 캔 콜라만 벌컥 들이마시면서 봤는데 오히려 그 순수한 감성을 느낄 수 있어 좋았다. 소박하지만 왠지 해 먹어보고 싶은 음식들도 먹음직스러웠고. 귀뚜라미도, 개구리도, 도시지만 그 안에서 자연적인 걸 많이 녹여낸 작품이라 마음에 든다. 오랜만에 캡쳐!

Just watched The scent of green papaya, I don’t think I’ll watch it again but the cinematography was nice! And the set design was pretty.
