Love in its various forms – whether everlasting, in pursuit of it, or absent – binds each of the films presented in this set. Deception – borne out of love or in search of it – plays out to darkly comedic effects in The Family Circus and Supermarket Affairs. Separations of significant others, voluntary and otherwise, result in unexpectedly deeper connections in Je suis là (I Am Here) and Little Parrot. And in Ripen (Trưởng Thành), a father and daughter renew their ties despite the barriers, emotional and physical, that separate them. An unexpected love at first sight almost fifty years ago forms the basis for Sleepless in Saigon. In sum, the films comprising “All You Need is Love” exemplify love at its most maddening and its most rewarding. – Eric Nong
