This is an interesting dialogue not only between literature and cinema but also between the perspectives and explanations of men and women on the same social issue. Through survey and analysis, the thesis achieves the following results:
- Vietnamese cinema is blending into the flow of world cinema, in which with the rise of feminist cinema, the construction of female characters in Vietnamese cinema has changed compared to the female character models of war cinema and post-traumatic cinema.
- Female directors have their own style in adapting literary works into films, especially in choosing themes, explaining social issues through love and marriage; building female characters who dare to go against stereotypes and using these elements to express strong discourses on feminism.
- Female directors also have their own style in using cinematic language to express feminist discourses in a subtle, skillful and convincing way.
11. Practical applicability: The research results of the thesis will be a reference document on the study of films by female directors; especially poetics, discourse and cinematic language.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
This research focuses on three individual films of three female directors. Each film was adapted from a corresponding novel composed by a male writer. These works were typical illustrations on expressing social topics using two different languages, literature and film. They also reflected points of views and interpretations of women and men on each social topic. Important findings of this research are summarized as follows:
- Vietnamese art of film currently matches the world's tendency with the predominance of domestic films promoting women's rights. Current models of female characters definitely differ from those in films produced during war- and post-war periods.
- Personal style in adapting a novel to a film of each female director could be considered as a strong discourse on women's rights. It was reflected by her selection of social topic and interpreted through aspects of love and marriage. In addition, female characters were built as ones who are willing to break conventional prejudices.
- Each female director also has a personal style of film language to express discourses on women's rights delicately and convincingly.
12. Practical applicability, if any: This research can be used as a reference in studies on films of female directors and, especially in poetics of discourse using film language.
13. Further research directions, if any: None
14. Thesis – related publications: None.
