From the glamorous Singapore locales in Crazy Rich Asians to the sweeping scenes of Vietnam in Ash Mayfair’s The Third Wife, these are our favorite Southeast Asia-set films.
Despite the fact that Leonardo Dicaprio, Guillaume Canet, Tilda Swinton, and Virginie Ledoyen are on the palm tree-filled beaches of Thailand, it couldn't be farther from paradise. But even amid the drama—there's an island whose location is a guarded secret worth killing for, and cannabis farmers up to no good—the gorgeous scenery, from Bangkok to Koh Samui, and the mythical island and hidden beach filmed at Ko Phi Phi Lee in Maya Bay, is what Thai holiday dreams are made of.
Filmed between Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam and Paris, France, this steamy film is set in French Colonial Vietnam in 1929. A young French teenage girl catches the eyes of a wealthy, older Chinese man and the two begin a forbidden affair. Based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras, the country of Vietnam was very much involved in the production of this film, even requesting that the love scenes—which left little to the imagination—be filmed in a studio in France rather than on location.
