Vietnamese historical film spends a lot of money on handmade costumes, released on April 30

Vietnamese historical film crew interacts with Hanoi audience

According to the production crew, this historical drama made a special impression with nearly 1,000 completely new, hand-made costumes. According to producer Dinh Ngoc Diep, this was a big challenge as the film crew could not rent or buy ready-made costumes because the setting was ancient, requiring meticulousness and high aesthetics.

“Each piece of fabric is hand-washed, bleached, and dyed to avoid looking new or fake when on screen. Each character has their own unique costume, from material, style to color, inspired by the Nguyen Dynasty but with creativity in the spirit of cinema,” producer Dinh Ngoc Diep shared.

The film introduction was like a show of Vietnamese traditional costumes.

Director Victor Vu once again demonstrates his ability to transform Vietnam’s wild natural landscapes into a cinematic backdrop that is both overwhelming and haunting. In Detective Kien: The Headless Case, the majestic beauty of the mountains and forests of the North – especially in Cao Bang and Tuyen Quang – is fully exploited to create a cinematic world imbued with the spirit of the North.

The film's location was searched for months.

The grand scenes spread out between the mountains, the old forests covered in mist with the main cold colors - blue, gray, black - not only enhance the tense, creepy atmosphere but also make the viewer feel lost in a mysterious world. The mysterious atmosphere, the layers of the mountains and forests - which are Victor Vu's "forte" - continue to become the elements that create the unique visual identity of this film.

Director Victor Vu hopes the film touches the audience's emotions.

The film is based on the work Ho Oan Han by Hong Thai, and is also a spin-off of the film Nguoi Vo Cuoi Cuoi . The film has special screenings from April 25 and officially opens in theaters on April 30.
