Tu Oanh of "Taste of Love" walks side by side with her husband on the red carpet of the Tokyo Film Festival

Tu Oanh chose an elegant and graceful white ao dai, and walked with her husband in a polite black suit. The couple took a flight from Hanoi to Tokyo a few days before the event. Tu Oanh will accompany her husband during the days when the film "Glorious Ashes" directed by him competes here and join him in activities on the sidelines of the Film Festival.

This is a rare occasion for artist Tu Oanh to be present with her husband at a film event. The film marks the return of director Bui Thac Chuyen to the 7th art after 10 years, since the horror film "The Blood Curse".

The director and his wife reunited with the crew on the red carpet of the 35th Tokyo International Film Festival. From right to left: producer Tran Thi Bich Ngoc, actor Quang Tuan, actress Phuong Anh Dao, artist Tu Oanh, director Bui Thac Chuyen, actress Bao Ngoc Doling, actor Le Cong Hoang.

The film "Glorious Ashes" is based on two short stories "Rotten Wood Drifting Back" and "Glorious Ashes" by writer Nguyen Ngoc Tu. The work is the first Vietnamese film in history to enter the official competition category of the Tokyo International Film Festival, competing with 14 films from countries such as Iran, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Chile...

The muse Phuong Anh Dao radiated in an off-the-shoulder, beaded dress by designer Dao Minh Nhat. Her short hair gave her a new look. The actress is currently busy filming a new movie in Vietnam, but she took the time to fly to Japan to attend the premiere of "Glorious Ashes". She is one of the three female leads in the movie.

Quang Tuan looks dashing in a tuxedo set by designer Hiep Henry. This is the first time he has attended an event without his wife Linh Phi following him around to support him. In the film, Quang Tuan plays Phuong Anh Dao's husband.

Actors Le Cong Hoang and Bao Ngoc Doling shined in their matching outfits. Both were excited for their first time at the Tokyo International Film Festival. Le Cong Hoang, born in 1991, is known as the muse of Vietnamese independent films, having appeared in "Father and Son and..." and "Say, Mom, I'm Going". Bao Ngoc Doling, who has Vietnamese and British blood, was spotted by director Bui Thac Chuyen at the age of 13 and played the lead role in "Glorious Ashes" when she was just 18.

Korean star Shim Eun Kyung, the female lead of the movie "Grandma in her twenties" is a member of the jury at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Director Julie Taymor of the films "Across the Universe" and "Frida" served as head of the jury.

Japanese star Mashimoto Ai is the ambassador of this year's film festival.
