Director Lee Chang-dong and actors Jeon Do-yeon, Seol Kyeong-gu, Jo In-sung, and Jo Yeo-jung arrived in Venice with 'Possible Love'.

On the 6th (local time), a press conference was held for Netflix's film 'Possible Love', which has been selected for the competition section of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Director Lee Chang-dong, along with Jeon Do-yeon, Seol Kyeong-gu, Jo In-sung, and Jo Yeo-jung, attended the event to discuss the film.

'Possible Love' tells the story of two couples—a laid-off worker and his wife, and a documentary filmmaker and her husband—who meet to produce a documentary and confront their different lives and hidden desires.

Regarding the release of his new work eight years after his previous film 'Burning', Director Lee Chang-dong said, "I felt that our lives changed drastically over these eight years. This included the period of the COVID-19 pandemic and times when people could not come to theaters."

He continued, "I came to think that human relationships are fundamentally changing. I deeply pondered what power films hold and whether they can still connect people to one another. I also had many discussions with writer Oh Jung-mi about the kind of film we could create together."

He further explained the work by stating, "I believe 'Possible Love' contains our reflections on cinema, as well as questions and contemplations about the fundamental changes in human relationships within the lives we are living today."
