Vietnamese cinema and television see renewed praise for acting

Vietnamese film and television are seeing renewed appreciation for high-quality performances. The 2012 period fantasy film ‘Thiên Mệnh Anh Hùng’, directed by Victor Vũ, has regained social media attention. Despite being a commercial loss at the time of release, the film is being praised as a standard for the genre due to its elaborate visuals and compelling story inspired by the Le Chi Vien case.

In contemporary television, actress Thu Quỳnh is receiving widespread acclaim for her role in the crime drama ‘Lửa Trắng’. Her portrayal of the character Lan, a powerful crime boss facing emotional vulnerability, has been highlighted for its intense psychological depth and technical skill in conveying complex emotions.
