About Golden Pollen
Hmone is a singer and dancer with one of the best known Burmese travelling theatres. One of the leading cast members is the pianist and composer Myint Thu. He has composed the song 'Hmone Shwe Yee' for Hmone which makes her a famous star. The song, praising the beauty and fragrance of the flower 'Hmone Shwe Yee', is a hidden declaration of love, but in 'real' life Myint Thu behaves with rather more reservation, strictness and coldness. He is a man incapable of showing his feelings. The mutual attraction is never admitted openly, and his love for Hmone becomes a real problem when a new admirer shows up. Ye Aung, an officer and Myint Thu's old school friend, falls in love with Hmone when he first sees her on stage.
Directed by Win Oo, Golden Pollen leans on a strong ensemble — Win Oo, Sandar Lin, Myat Thu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1970.
