The Global Film Initiative have announced the US DVD release of 'Adrift' (AKA 'Choi Voi') for the 13th December, 2011. Directed by Bui Thac Chuyen, this quietly sensual sophomore feature explores sexual inexperience, frustration and desire in contemporary Hanoi from a female point of view.
Synopsis
Soon after her wedding, newlywed Duyen's excitement begins to fade as she realizes her young husband is not only sexually naïve, but overly occupied by his job and doting mother. As her marriage goes unconsummated and her emotional isolation grows, she reaches out to her closest girlfriend, Cam, who secretly desires her, but pushes her into the arms of a dangerous and provocative suitor. The resulting sexual awakening and infidelity puts Duyen in a precarious love triangle, challenging her notions of conventional relationships and also the stability of her new family. Saturated with erotic tension, director Bui Thac Chuyen's sensuous and absorbing second feature traces the emotional and psychological landscapes of lust and desire, weaving an atmospheric tale of love and life in modern Hanoi.
Artwork and trailer are below, and you can preorder the DVD now from Amazon.com.
