Take a trip to the streets of San Francisco for a fascinating look at twenty years of graffiti culture in this documentary from filmmaker Nic Hill. Some consider this stylized brand of street art an urban landscape eyesore, while others view it as a colorful expression of life in the city. Whatever side of the fence you fall on, Hill offers an informative take on the history of urban art by exploring the culture from which it has emerged, and offering informative interviews with the artists themselves. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
A teenager coming of age in Vietnam in the '40s is faced with new challenges and troubling news as he asserts his independence in this drama. Kim (Le The Lu) is a 15-year-old living in a rural area where a six-month rainy season causes frequent flooding, threatening the lives of the water buffalo which are crucial to the livelihood of the farmers. Eager to prove himself, Kim is given the important task of leading two buffalo to higher ground by his father Dinh (Nguyen Huu Thanh), but the flooding proves to be more than Kim counted on, and he returns with the news that one of the animals died during the journey. After an angry confrontation with Dinh, Kim strikes out on his own and goes to work for a farmer named Det (Kra Zan Sram), while striking up a friendship with Ban (Nguyen Thi Kieu Trihn), a woman who works with Det. Kim and Dinh resolve their differences shortly before Dinh's passing, but now Kim must deal with the responsibilities of burying his father and the startling revelation that his mother is not who he believed she was. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
