Hoa-Binh (1970)

Hoa-Binh is one of those films that was nominated for an Oscar like 50 years ago that I never thought I would ever get to see. I've never seen it on DVD or an any streaming service, and I had basically given up on it. Color me surprised, then, when this movie suddenly became available on the Cave of Forgotten Films. I watched it the day it did.

I have been wanting to see this forever, and it's wonderful. It's an unsentimental portrayal of the effects of war on a family in Vietnam during the war, and the central performance is amazing. I really liked this film.
