Review of Monsoon

Monsoon (2019)
7/10
Vietnam travelogue with sex
14 October 2020
Kit escaped Vietnam as a 6-year-old boat person, and now has returned from England to scatter his parents' ashes. He is helped by a cousin who used to be a close friend, and also hooks up with an American whose father served there in the war.

Bouncing between Saigon and Hanoi, we catch views of the prosperous new cities, and some of the lush countryside. We also see some of the new arts and old artisans. Presumably a semi-autobiographical story, it suffers from a degree of time compression, as the story should be set in 2000-2010, not a vague "today'.
