The Third Wife (Vietnamese: Vợ ba) is a 2018 Vietnamese costume drama film written and directed by Ash Mayfair, in her feature debut. Set in the 19th century, it follows a 14-year-old girl who becomes the third wife to a landowner in rural northern Vietnam.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2018, where it won the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (NETPAC) Award.[2] It also won the TVE-Another Look Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival[3] and the Gold Hugo for New Directors at the Chicago International Film Festival in October 2018.[4]
The film was nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Someone to Watch Award at the 35th Independent Spirit Awards.[5]
In 2020 Mayfair released a re-worked version of the film called Between Shadow and Soul. The re-worked film used the same footage from the original shoot but reconfigured in black and white and with no dialogue and a new soundtrack.[6]
