Over 20 years after French films set during the war in Vietnam such as “L’Amant,” “Dien Bien Phu,” and “Indochine,” French film makers returned to Vietnam to produce a sentimental drama titled “Red Sky,” a war time romance.
Filming got underway in 2015, and all scenes were filmed entirely within Vietnam, featuring an interesting and unique perspective about the Indochina war in 1946.
The film tells a love story about French solider, Philippe, and a Viet Minh girl named Thi. During his mission in Vietnam, Philippe was forced to torture the young Vietnamese girl. He was touched by the girl’s resilience and escaped with her to the deserted forest.
Aside from its romantic love story, “Red Sky” captivates audiences with shots of the stunning landscapes of Bac Kan and Ha Giang in Vietnam, with one particularly scenic view of Ba Be lake, where love blossoms between the young couple.
