A sixty-something woman, faced with the discovery of a heinous family crime, finds strength and purpose when she enrolls in a poetry class. Lee Chang-dong's follow-up to his acclaimed SECRET SUNSHINE is a masterful study of the subtle empowerment -- and moral compass -- of an indefatigable older woman.

"Though its slow pace makes its 2.5-hour length feel like so much longer, the beauty of Poetry is conveyed through its minimalism, and by showcasing brutally human responses to tragic circumstances. The lead actress, Jeong-hie Yun, gives a magnificent performance, portraying her character with much pain and frustration, while still appreciating the beauty around her. "
