Đỗ Minh Tuấn

Đỗ Minh Tuấn came to cinema through poetry. He had published several books of verse and a volume of criticism when he moved on to screenwriting, then to directing, in the state studio that then produced the cinema of the North. He paints, he writes about his craft, and he has brought into his films devices borrowed from contemporary art: a rubbish dump turned into an installation for Vua bãi rác, which Variety praised, and hundreds of soldiers dancing on a hill in Ký ức Điện Biên, his sixth feature film, commissioned for the fiftieth anniversary of Điện Biên Phủ. The directories do not give his date of birth.
