After `Hero’s Destiny`, Victor Vu brings the historical work `The Last Wife`

After 20 years of working with Vietnamese cinema, director Victor Vu has been loved by a large audience thanks to his unique films with diverse genres.

Distinctive ancient colors between Hero’s Mandate and The Last Wife

Thien Menh Hero is a historical action film inspired by the novel `The Blood Book` revolving around the Le Chi Vien trial of the Later Le Dynasty.

Not only does it have dramatic and beautiful battle scenes, Thien Menh Anh Hung also brings a bold image of Vietnam elaborated through every pagoda roof, palace, cave, river… at many famous landmarks.

Returning to the 2023 film race with The Last Wife, Victor Vu wants to bring a historical film with a completely different motif: an emotional – psychological story based on the context of ancient Vietnam.

Another thing that impressed the audience was the way Victor Vu researched and created an image that brings together the beauty of three regions of Vietnamese women in the late 19th – early 20th century for the character played by Kaity Nguyen.

Despite bringing a new color to The Last Wife, it can be seen that Victor Vu’s unique personality is still continued through the way he chose the `golden face` for his film.

All three actresses transformed into ancient Vietnamese girls who were beautiful and feminine but possessed very multi-dimensional and rich personalities.

Meanwhile, Kaity Nguyen’s teary eyes looking straight into the camera in The Last Wife shows that although this girl seems fragile, when faced with a challenge, she will be ready to fight.

It can be seen that women are Victor Vu’s endless source of inspiration, and they are even more special when placed in the context of Vietnam’s colorful history.

The Last Wife is expected to premiere in 2023.
