The mark of the film Red Rain
The enthusiastic reception and lively discussions following the screening of "Red Rain" demonstrate that Vietnamese cinema is fully capable of telling its own stories while still touching the hearts of international audiences.
Sharing her thoughts at the premiere, director Dang Thai Huyen emotionally stated: “What is depicted in the film about the 81 days and nights at Quang Tri Citadel is only a very small part of the brutal reality of war. We are proud to have completed 'Red Rain' and brought the film a long way. But above all, we would like to express our gratitude to the audience, thank you for the applause, the tears, the empathy and encouragement from everyone, from Vietnam to Paris today.”
Meanwhile, a sociologist and director shared after watching "Red Rain" : "What impressed me most was the film's artistic value. But above all, it was the message of peace at the end – peace achieved after all the suffering. The message the film conveys is truly powerful."

From an academic perspective, a professor in Paris commented: “The film concludes with a highly symbolic final scene. This ending provides viewers with the necessary pause to reflect on the poignant story and the emotions that bind the men to the woman, as well as uniting a group of people.”
