Abstract: Through analysing the cinematic language, this essay wants to find out if there is a stereotype in the representation of the Northern village landscape in the films Bến không chồng (Luu Trong Ninh) and Cuộc đời của Yến (Dinh Tuan Vu) or not. From there, this research will show that that stereotype expressed a sense of nostalgia for and created regimes of truth about the Northern village. The essay also studies the discourse overlapping in these two films about the same historical period, with the same theme about women’s misery. This writing will point out that despite filming about the same landscape, Bến không chồng presents a sad, gloomy landscape; on the contrary, Cuộc đời của Yến shows a beautiful but simple landscape like in a tourism promotional video. Then, the author will give her opinions on the reasons for that discourse overlapping.
