The General Retires

Film of Nguyen Huy Thiep's controversial story about a general who, after devoting his life to the communist cause, retires, only to find that his household is in disarray, his grown children money-grubbing, and Vietnamese society far from the rosy picture of equality he'd imagined he'd helped make it.
