A young man who struggles through life by earning some money with his bicycle-taxi in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh city) gets contact to a group of criminals. They introduce him to the mafia-world of drugs and crime.
Cyclo is a raw, unforgettable story about a young man trying to escape his dangerous life and has some brutally stunning visuals. Directed by Tran Anh Hung (Norwegian Wood, The Scent of Green Papaya), it's one of the most powerful dramas I've ever seen, with many scenes that alone deserves a handful of prizes. Acting like this doesn't grow on trees, as it is quite extraordinaire.
A film that truly leaves you breathless, amazing direction and storytelling.
Genre: Crime/Drama
