Abstract: This article examines the filmmaking approach of Victor Vu, a leading figure in contemporary Vietnamese cinema, focusing on his process from constructing literary scripts to directing film productions. Through direct collaboration with the director and analysis of 19 of his feature films and television works, the study elucidates how Victor Vu crafts narrative scripts that integrate literary depth with cinematic structure, creating a unique multimodal communication framework. The research applies theories of narratology, stylistics, and film poetics to analyze his storytelling style, dialogue, visual composition, and adaptation strategies. The article highlights Victor Vu’s dual role as both director and screenwriter, and underscores the practical significance of his approach for aspiring filmmakers seeking to adapt traditional stories into globally resonant media products.
