SECRET SUNSHINE wins top honors at Asian Film Awards

Congratulations to SECRET SUNSHINE for pretty much sweeping the Asian Film Awards which are held at the Hong Kong Film Festival. I already wrote about this film a bit way back here. I'm a big fan of the film's elegant articulation of its existentialist message. It actually reminded me very much of Joss Whedon comments on atheism here. Both him and Lee Chang-dong put an emphasis on the physicality of the worlds around their characters to illustrate the meaning that is derived from pure existence, rejecting the illusions of religion.

What other bloggers out there are comparing Whedon and Chang-dong? None!
