Acclaimed as one of the most important films in Vietnamese cinema history, this galvanizing ode to the courage of the Vietnamese women who fought against French imperialism features a stunning performance from Trà Giang as Tư Hậu, a young mother from the South who must care for her family when her husband leaves to fight with the Viet Minh. After his death, Tư Hậu is forced to take a stand. With its harrowing realism and kinetic cinematography, MS. TƯ HẬU offers a rare and potent look at war and revolution from the perspective of Vietnamese women.
