Sonyeo

A poignant and doomed teen love story. It has its uplifting and touching moments. A slightly dark take on the closed atmosphere of a small village and the effects of rumor mongering. The inevitable drawing together of two suffering souls and the aftermath is well described. The scenes of the lunar eclipse with the darkness that is to envelope their lives, the screaming of the pigs is well connected and depicted. The internal politics and biases of high school is merely touched upon. The story borders on the predictable,but there in lies the directors finesse. Overall good direction and performance from the lead pair.
