\n\tThe film will open locally as \u201cM\u00e3i N\u1ee3 M\u1ed9t L\u1eddi T\u1ea1m Bi\u1ec7t,\u201d rendered in English as \u201cThe Farewell I Never Gave.\u201d The international title remains \u201cChrysalis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe deal marks a significant distribution milestone for the U.S.-Vietnam production, which is set in Vietnam and draws on the childhood memories of its subject and executive producer, Sir Daniel K. Winn. \u201cBringing \u2018Chrysalis\u2019 to theaters in Vietnam is deeply personal,\u201d Winn said. \u201cThis story grew out of my childhood and the love of my grandmother, and I hope Vietnamese audiences see something of their own families and memories in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by J. Robert Schulz from a screenplay by Andrew Creme, based on a story by Winn, Randall J. Slavin and Schulz, the film stars Kieu Chinh as B\u00e0 N\u1ed9i, the grandmother at the heart of the story, with Winn appearing in the present-day storyline. The cast also includes Uy Nhan, Samuel An, Lan Thy, Le Anh Huy, Tien Pham and Trinh Tu Trung. WS Productions produced.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis Vietnam release is an important milestone for \u2018Chrysalis\u2019 and reflects the collaboration between our U.S. and Vietnamese cast, crew and producing teams,\u201d executive producer Slavin said. \u201cWe are proud to bring the film to audiences in the country where its story begins.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film made its market debut at the 2026 Cannes Film Market with two market screenings before going on to compete at the fourth edition of the Danang Asian Film Festival, where it was one of 13 films selected for the Asian Competition. At DANAFF, Kieu Chinh received the Screen Excellence Merit Award, recognizing a screen career spanning nearly seven decades and more than 100 roles.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018Chrysalis\u2019 is a deeply moving story that explores the powerful themes of family and memory,\u201d CJ CGV Vietnam said in a statement. \u201cWe look forward to bringing this remarkable award-winning film to audiences across Vietnam this September.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Vietnam theatrical run is part of the film\u2019s broader release schedule, which includes a Beverly Hills engagement in October and a worldwide rollout planned for November.<\/p>\n
