French Portal Gives "Secret Sunshine" ('Milyang') Full Marks

The Korean film "Secret Sunshine" ('Milyang'), invited to compete at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival, is drawing rave foreign reviews.

The enthusiastic response is raising the odds of the film winning an award even before its official screening at Cannes on Thursday.

The Korean film has favorably been recognized by various foreign online film sites. On a French cinema portal, a local reporter, who saw the movie, gave "Secret Sunshine" ('Milyang') four full stars.

Before the Cannes release, the film had been sold to Greece following France, reflecting a keen interest overseas.

The interest is attributed to the high quality of the film as well as the fame of director Lee Chang-dong, who won Best Director at the 2002 Venice Film Festival for his film 'Oasis'.

Whether it will notch a prize at Cannes remains to be seen.
