Milyang (Secret sunshine)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

South Korean film from 2007 & best actress award at Cannes for an absolutely remarkable performance by Do-yeon Jeon.

The story's pretty simple: after losing her husband in a car accident, Shin-ae (Do-yeon Jeon) moves with her young son to the birthplace of her husband, a small town called Milyang (translated as secret sunshine).

Another loss happens and she's supported by the local christian group until she realizes that even God seems to have abandoned her.

Above all, check out Do-yeon Jeon's award winning role. Highly recommended.
