Finally it closed yesterday. The great thing is that Jeon Do-yeon got the prize of best leading actress. On 23th May I saw " Secret sunshine", and saw it again last weekend. Secret sunshine is the best film of the year and of several years for me. It's a masterpiece!!!

Shin-ae(Jeon Do-yeon) is fallen to the bottom of the despair, however, the director doesn't give her any hope. she is pulled to the dead-end street that you can not imagine.
This is a reflection of society in Korea and the reaction as an individual. (Actually the director, Lee Chang-dong, doesnt want to be seen in social view.)
She ran away from the place where nobody knows her. but she is not a stranger anymore in the end. such a despair. And the acting of Jeon Do-yeon is really the best.
If i have the time, Id like to write some for "Secret sunshine".
