Le Ly (Hiep Thi Le) lives in a small Vietnamese village whose serenity is shattered when war breaks out. As a freedom fighter, a hustler, young mother, a sometime prostitute, and the wife of a US. marine, her relationships with men suggests an analogy of Vietnam as Woman and the U.S. as Man.
Heaven and Earth has the epic scope one would expect from a film of this magnitude, but it lacks much of the narrative strength of Stone's first two Vietnamese tales.
This is the first time [Stone] has tried to place himself inside a woman's imagination, and that he succeeds so well is due partly...to an extraordinary performance by Hiep Thi Le in the leading role.
