I saw this movie at a press screening before it was shown at the New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center, probably in the fall of 2007. It is another incredible film from Lee Chang-dong, whom I regard as one of the greatest living directors. Make that one of the greatest film director's ever. "Oasis" (his third film) was the first of his that I saw, and I was haunted by it for days afterward. Same with "Secret Sunshine" which is an emotionally demanding film, but more than worth the time and effort. Both "Oasis" and "Secret Sunshine" belong in the Pantheon of great world cinema, and have established Lee Chang-dong as the equal of the all-time greats, such as Fellini, Kurosawa, Bergman, etc.
