Spring and Fall
By Jeffrey M. Anderson  26-year-old Tony Bui makes his directorial debut with four interwoven storiesthat take place on the streets of Saigon. The stories are simplistic andsentimental, but the feel of the movie is an easy blending of the realism of DeSica, the humanism of Renoir, and the colorful visual poetry of Kieslowski. Thestories occur in the shadows of the expensive hotels where only the rich canafford to stay, but they do not blend easily; some of the cuts are jarring anddisorienting. Three Seasons is ultimately a light and lovely movie thatsatisfies, but goes away quickly. It was a big winner at Sundance, taking boththe critics' award and the audience award, and it opened this year's San Francisco AsianAmerican Film Festival.
