Paris by Night 99: I am a Vietnamese

About This Movie

Paris By Night 99 - Tôi Là Người Việt Nam really encapsulates a vibrant slice of Vietnamese culture through music and performance. Shot at Knott's Berry Farm, it feels like an unusual setting for this kind of show, offering a unique blend of California amusement park atmosphere with the rich traditions of Vietnamese entertainment. The hosting duo, Nguyễn Ngọc Ngạn and Nguyễn Cao Kỳ Duyên, inject a lot of warmth and charm into the proceedings, guiding us through various acts that range from heartfelt ballads to upbeat dance numbers. The pacing keeps things lively, and you can sense the dedication in each performance, which adds a layer of authenticity that’s not always present in concert films.

This show was released on DVD in April 2010, and it’s interesting to note how the Paris By Night series has had its ups and downs in terms of availability. Collectors often seek these out, particularly the earlier volumes, for their unique blend of live audience energy and cultural presentation. Though not as scarce as some of its predecessors, Paris By Night 99 still garners interest for its distinctive setting and the performances that resonate with the Vietnamese diaspora.
