Song Lang is a movie describing the journey of two Vietnamese males in their early adult. The two men share the precocious interest and talent for "Cai Luong", a Vietnamese theatrical form, well-known in the southern of Vietnam during 1950-1980s period.

The director cover the viusal with an easily-recognized yellowish color style, referring to the late 1980s vibe of Saigon, known as "Ho Chi Minh City" in the modern time. The director used a lot of.close-up shot to intensify the turbulent inner life of each main actor, also the intimacy between them.

This movie gave me a feeling of heaviness, because of both the color style and the weighty story of "Dung", the main character. However, this movie.is worth each second of your 101 minutes watching, if you are a fan of drama-romance style, and love to play with actor's inner life.

Finally, the movie is sponsored as a loving story between two men. As a 24 y/o man, I consider this relationship more as a potential sustainable friendship than a potential loving relationship. Men does share privacy, interest and weakness.
