Secret Sunshine
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Lee Chang-dong
2007 / 142min / DCP
Relocating to her late husband’s hometown from Seoul with her young son, shy piano teacher Shin-ae (Jeon Do-yeon) is looking for a fresh start and a bit of peace and privacy in the small town of Miryang—but instead she finds herself plagued by local eccentrics and confronted with a new host of trials and tragedies. A shattering depiction of a woman enduring the unendurable, with Lee eliciting a tour de force lead performance from Jeon, quite justly awarded Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her work. “Has the kind of emotional depth and thematic complexity that rewards repeat viewings… Elegant and lyrical.”—The New York Times
