Hanoi comes across almost picture-perfect in director Tran Anh Hung's beautiful, elegiac tale about the lives and loves of three Vietnamese sisters. A mood characteristic of Hung's films is set early on with the vivid sounds of birds, insects and water and the way the lighting enhances the subtle use of color. They all combine to gem-like effect here.

The Vertical Ray of the Sun is a 2000 Vietnamese drama directed by Tran Anh Hung that follows three sisters navigating love and life in Hanoi. The film is celebrated for its visual beauty, meticulous sound design, and intimate portrayal of relationships set against the backdrop of the city's landscapes.
