Netflix Lee Chang-dong‘s “Possible Love” will open in Korean theaters September 23, followed by select theatrical releases in Australia Oct. 22 and in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland and Japan Oct. 23, before streaming globally on Netflix starting November 6.
The film’s world premiere will be at the Venice Film Festival and North American Premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.
“Possible Love” marks Lee’s first feature in eight years, following “Burning,” “Poetry” and “Secret Sunshine.” The film centers on two married couples whose lives intersect after a funeral: Mi-ok and her laid-off husband Ho-seok (Sul Kyung-gu), who live quietly with their young son Cheol, and Ye-ji, a filmmaker making a documentary about workers who lost their jobs, and her husband Sang-woo (Zo In-sung). When Mi-ok agrees to be filmed by Ye-ji, the two women grow close, while Mi-ok finds herself unsettled by an attraction to Sang-woo. As the two couples’ worlds overlap, cracks begin to surface in both marriages.
