A retrospective of Director Lee Chang-dong's works is being held.

Megabox announced that it will run the "Lee Chang-dong Retrospective," which re-examines six of the director's feature films, from the 28th until the 17th of next month.

This special exhibition was organized to commemorate Director Lee Chang-dong's new film, "Possible Love," winning the Silver Lion (Best Screenplay) at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival in the competition section. This is the first time a Korean film has received the Best Screenplay award at the Venice International Film Festival, and Director Lee Chang-dong claimed his first Venice trophy in 24 years since receiving the Best Director award for "Oasis" in 2002.

The retrospective features all six of Director Lee Chang-dong's feature films released prior to "Possible Love," ranging from his debut work, "Green Fish" (1997), to "Peppermint Candy" (2000), "Oasis" (2002), "Secret Sunshine" (2007), "Poetry" (2010), and "Burning" (2018).

The films will be screened in Dolby Special Theaters, which offer brighter screens and immersive sound than standard screening rooms, providing an opportunity to experience the master's cinematic world anew in theaters.

The retrospective will run for three weeks, with two films screened each week. First, from the 28th until the 3rd of next month, "Burning," the most recent work prior to "Possible Love," and "Poetry," which won the Best Screenplay award at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival, will be shown to audiences.

Following this, from November 4 to 10, "Oasis," which gave Director Lee Chang-dong his first Venice trophy, and "Peppermint Candy," starring Sol Kyung-gu, will continue the lineup. Finally, from November 11 to 17, "Secret Sunshine," which earned Jeon Do-yeon the Best Actress award at the 60th Cannes Film Festival, and Director Lee Chang-dong's debut work, "Green Fish," will be screened.

In particular, as Sol Kyung-gu from "Peppermint Candy" and "Oasis," and Jeon Do-yeon from "Secret Sunshine," are once again working with Director Lee Chang-dong in "Possible Love," this retrospective is expected to offer a chance to view the new work alongside previous films while also tracing the actors' trajectories.

The "Lee Chang-dong Retrospective" can be viewed at a special price of 10,000 won for all screenings.
