Lee Chang-dong Probes Desire and Class in Possible Love
TL;DR Summary
Lee Chang-dong’s Possible Love, which premiered at Venice 2026, is a sprawling 164‑minute drama that pits a pampered documentary filmmaker against a working-class couple, using a film-within-a-film to probe desire, power, and labor under late capitalism; anchored by Jeon Do-yeon’s powerhouse performance, the film sharply exposes how wealth and privilege distort intimacy and dignity, culminating in a haunting finale.
