Secret Sunshine (Miryang) (2007)

Secret Sunshine is about grief. It's about faith. It's a bold, powerful movie anchored by a visceral performance from Jeon Do-yeon. What she conveys in just looks is as strong as the words and cries. She is such a complex character feeling a wide range of lows. There is a particularly stirring scene in a prison in which we face a murderer who has been saved. It is not her most emotional scene. But it is a turning point for her. And her blank stare we can read so much suffering. The movie goes really deep into her suffering.
