A cast of famous Vietnamese stars including Huyen Lizzie, Ha Viet Dung, Hoang Anh Vu, Long Vu, Pham Anh Tuan, Nguyen Quang Anh "stormed" the red carpet of the movie "Mui Pho" premiere in Hanoi. MC Tuan Tu was also the host of the movie premiere.
In which, appearing on the red carpet, the film crew of "Mui Pho" also impressed the audience with traditional ao dai costumes. Director Minh Beta appeared fresh along with the actors in the film including: Artist Xuan Hinh, Quoc Tuan, Ha Huong, Pham Tien Loc, baby Bao Nam, Cuong Ca, Thanh Huong, Ngoc Manh.
The movie "Mui Pho" brings the audience to experience all levels of emotions - like a bowl of pho with all "tastes": The sweetness of smiles, the saltiness of tears and also the aroma of understanding and sharing.
The handshake between actress Thu Trang and artist Xuan Hinh for the first time on the big screen received a lot of excitement. The long, rhyming "verbal battles" and the profound intonation of artist Xuan Hinh, combined with Thu Trang's charm, brought an interesting juggling performance.
At the same time, male artist Xuan Hinh also peeled out the deepest psychological layer of the character Mr. Mui - behind the barren shell is the worry for his family's future. The scenes of the lonely father having to ponder and contemplate, between the famous pho stall and between the "schemes" of his children, took away no small amount of tears from the audience.
Sharing about his first time acting in a movie, artist Xuan Hinh said: "Thank you to the audience who still love me at this level. Whether the movie is profitable or loss-making, at this level, it's okay. In terms of traditional culture and art, I'm also at the end of my life, I'm not eager to be famous. When the movie is released, I want to see if the children love this culture. I try for two years to have one more time...".
Artist Xuan Hinh also revealed that the only and rare hot scene in his film career had to be cut. The reason is because of cultural weaknesses and desires to suit many generations of audiences when the movie "Mui Pho" is released. "Having to accept this means losing that, it is difficult to keep everything" - artist Xuan Hinh shared.
When asked about the humorous - emotional element in "Mui Pho", the veteran artist emphasized: "When making a film, I understood director Minh Beta's intention was that the film would be released during Tet. Life is difficult now, making it sad, crying a lot is not good. The director wants to bring a more bustling atmosphere, just faint sadness. Crying will have tricks for people to cry, but laughter is really difficult".
Revealing his views on the audience's reception, in the two regions South - North - which have cultural differences, director Minh Beta said: "A film, an artwork is like a dish. Diners always have different tastes. People will have many opinions. For example, pho, pho in Ho Chi Minh City and pho in Hanoi, each side will like to eat different styles. I always appreciate the audience's opinions. People will give me deeper perspectives.
Mui Pho" is directed by Minh Beta, starring artists Xuan Hinh and Thu Trang. The film revolves around the story of Vietnamese families of many generations told through the image of pho as a cultural symbol and memory.
The film exploits cultural - artistic - family elements, combining simple Vietnamese comedy with emotional depth. "Mui Pho" will premiere from the 1st day of Tet 2026 at cinemas nationwide.
