Black-and-white movie month: “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” (2014)
In the following week of the Black-and-white movie month, TPD’s Cinema Space is glad to present the film A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, directed by Ana Lily Amirpour.
Film notes:
A Girl walks home alone at night, the US in 2014
101′ | Drama • Horror
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is a Persian-language American vampire western film directed by Ana Lily Amirpour. Tagged as “The first Iranian vampire Western”, it was chosen to show in the “Next” program at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. The film is described as being set in “the Iranian ghost-town Bad City” and depicts the doings of “a lonesome vampire”.
The film received positive reviews from critics, holding a 96% “Certified Fresh” approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 116 reviews.
Guy Lodge of Variety said in his review that “Ana Lily Amirpour’s auspicious debut feature is a sly, slinky vampire romance set in an imaginary Iranian underworld”. Andrew O’Hehir of Salon called the film “the year’s biggest discovery” and praised its feminist themes. Boyd van Hoeij, in his review for The Hollywood Reporter, praised the movie, saying “this moody and gorgeous film is finally more about atmosphere and emotions than narrative – and none the worse for it”. Drew Taylor of Indiewire graded the film A− and said that it gives “the impression that you’re witnessing something iconic and important unfold before you”.
Time: Friday October 12 at 7:30 pm
Venue: The Center for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents, 51 Tran Hung Dao street (4th floor), Hanoi

“Le grand méchant renard et les autres contes”
Director: Benjamin Renner, Patrick Imbert (France, 2017, 80′)
Those who think that the countryside is a quiet and peaceful place are mistaken, there are some particularly agitated animals: a Fox who thinks he’s a chicken, a bunny pretends he’s a stork, and a Duck who wants to replace Santa Claus.
“Les as de la jungle”
Director: David Alaux (France, 2017, 97′)
Cast: Philippe Bozo, Laurent Morteau, Pascal Casanova and other actors/actresses
Maurice may look like a penguin – but he’s a real tiger inside! Raised by a tigress, he’s the clumsiest Kung-Fu master ever. Along with his friends, The Jungle Bunch, he intends to maintain order and justice in the jungle, as his mother did before him. But Igor, an evil koala, wants to destroy the jungle once and for all, helped by his army of silly baboons, etc.
Time: Sunday October 14 from 3:30 to 6:00 pm
Venue: L’Espace, 24 Trang Tien Str, Hanoi
