biography
After the communist seizure of power in Sàigón in 1975, he and his family emigrated to France. From 1985 to 1987 he attended the École Louis-Lumière film school in Paris. After he had made two short films with La Femme mariée de Nam Xuong in 1989 and La Pierre de l'attente in 1991 , his first feature film came out in 1993 with The Scent of Green Papaya . The film begins in Sàigòn in 1951 and depicts over ten years of the life of an initially poor girl who is employed in the household of a pianist, marries him and experiences a social advancement. The scent of green papaya became a success for the director; at the Cannes International Film Festival he was awarded the Golden Camera for best debut film and in 1994 a César for “ best first work ”. In addition, the film was nominated for the Oscar for " best foreign language film ".
While The Scent of Green Papaya was still exclusively created in a French studio, he went to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Sàigòn) to shoot his next film Cyclo . The focus of this work is a man who, when his rickshaw and thus his livelihood is stolen, joins a criminal organization. At the 1995 Venice International Film Festival , this film was awarded the Golden Lion , the festival's most important prize, and the FIPRESCI Prize .
The third feature film under his direction was released in 2000 with A Summer in Hanoi , in which three sisters and their love life are in the foreground. This film was shown in the international competition at the Cannes International Film Festival.
In 2009 the thriller I Come with the Rain was released. While the director's previous films were all shot in Vietnamese and are set in Vietnam, this is his first English-language film. However, like all of Trn's previous films, the film was financed with French funds. A year later he filmed the novel of the same name by Haruki Murakami with Naoko's smile (international title: Norwegian Wood ) with Ken'ichi Matsuyama , Rinko Kikuchi and Kiko Mizuhara in the leading roles. This earned him a renewed invitation to the competition at the Venice Film Festival in 2010 .
In 2017 he was accepted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which awards the Oscars every year.
Trần is married to Trần Nữ Yên Khê , who starred in The Scent of Green Papaya and also had acting roles in his other films.
