'The Third Wife' DVD Review

At the age of 14, May (Nguyen Phuong Tra My)  has arrived at the home of Hung (Le Vu Long) to become 'TheThird Wife'. Our story takes place in Vietnam during the 19th century. May comes to terms with her situation when she learns early on that the only way for her to have any sort of status in the house is that she must become a woman very quickly. In other words, Hung wants a male child and it doesn’t matter which wife gives it to him. May quickly learns how to seduce Hung and she does become pregnant which does give her some status in the home.

A problem arises when young May becomes attracted to the second wife Xuan (Mai Thu Huong Maya). Now remember this is rural Vietnam during the 19th century gay rights have not become a reality yet and this love affair could be very dangerous. May realizes she could play it safe and have Hung’s child and live quietly and safe or continue her affair and possibly die. Personal freedom is not something that comes easy during the 19th century Vietnam.

The story is intriguing to say the least. The quality of the DVD is excellent. Film Movement brings this beautiful story of questionable love to DVD on September 10th, 2019. The quality of the DVD is wonderful and the sights and sounds are superb. Vietnam has some beautiful scenery and it shines in this movie. This movie is definitely a must see. You will want to add it to your personal library and you don’t want to waste any time. You will watch this story over and over.
