Born 1956-09-19 · Hanoi, Vietnam

Distinguished Artist - People's Artist Bùi Bài Bình (b. 1956, Hanoi) is a Vietnamese actor. Belonging to the second class of the University of Theater and Performing Arts of Hanoi, he began his career with roles that highlight his kind, "peasant-like" appearance; participating in films such as: "The Wall Never Built" (Bức tường không xây), "Married for Love" (Lấy nhau vì tình), "A Godless Sunday" (Ngày Chủ nhật vắng Chúa), etc. Bùi's breakthrough came with "The Guava House" (Mùa ổi, d. Đặng Nhật Minh, 2000). He was cast as Hòa, a mentally challenged middle-aged man whose kindheartedness is both exploited and scorned by society. With this role, he won the Golden Lotus award at the 13th Vietnam Film Festival in 2001. In the following years, Bùi experimented with villainous characters, like Quyết in the series "The Smell of Soil" (Hương đất, d. Quốc Trọng, 2005); Khuếnh in "The Wind of Kinh" (Gió làng Kình, d. Nguyễn Hữu Phần & Bùi Thọ Thịnh, 2008); etc.

A Quiet Little Town poster
9.0

A government minister from Hanoi has a car accident on the way to a wedding in a remote village. The county hospital does not have the authority to operate on a minister. The county commissioner would like the operation done in the county for the prestige it would bring, but will not authorize it without the approval of the whole county committee. The hospital director has filled his quota, so does not want to take the risk of an operation. Since a telephone call to Hanoi has to be booked two days in advance, the minister's wife cannot be contacted, nor can a helicopter be arranged to move the minister to Hanoi.
