Vietnam’s No. 1 film, ‘House of No Man,’ opens Friday across Houston

Song Luan as John and Uyen An as Nhi hanging out in"The House of No Man."The city of Houston is special to film director Tran Tranh because of one thing: the “very game and all out” people who attended his comedy shows here.

As it stands,"The House of No Man" has already dethroned “Dad, I’m Sorry!” as Vietnam's most popular, locally made film. The 2021 family dramedy, which Thanh co-directed, made formidable waves at the specialty box office in the U.S. And, as with"Dad, I'm Sorry," he hopes American will be able to relate to his latest work.

Vietnamese media reported that the character, a larger than life figure, was inspired by a vendor who went viral for selling Saigon’s priciest bowls of banh canh cua .“There are people who are so focused on their trade they haven’t the opportunity to sit down, chat and think with the rest of their family,” he said, dropping a hint at how the story was conceived.

“Somehow, as children, we grow through our parents’ scoldings,” Thanh said. “But sometimes parents forget the right way to communicate to their children, all due to exhaustion from their struggles and hustles. My making of this film is an attempt to replicate, as realistically as possible, the emotions of both parties for them to reflect upon. It’s like someone has placed hidden cameras and then replayed all the footage.
