Possible Love, the first feature film in eight years from internationally acclaimed auteur Lee Chang-dong, will release in select theaters on October 23, and stream only on Netflix starting November 6. The film, which held its World Premiere at this year’s Venice Film Festival and won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize, follows the intertwined relationship of two married couples facing different paths and hidden desires. 
 

To celebrate the release of Director Lee’s latest triumph, The Egyptian Theatre is proud to announce Freedom and Desire: The Films of Lee Chang-dong.

When discussing his latest film, Director Lee notes how Possible Love reflects his belief that no matter the pain, struggle, frustration and despair we face in life, what allows us to overcome these obstacles is our desire for freedom. This powerful notion echoes throughout his filmography, with characters constantly pursuing more than what their circumstances in life have given them –  from his first feature Green Fish (1997) through his collection of award-winning masterpieces – including Oasis (2002, Best Director at Venice FIlm Festival), Secret Sunshine (2007, Best Actress at Cannes Film Festival), Poetry (2010, Best Screenplay at Cannes Film Festival), and Burning (2018, Cannes FIPRESCI Prize). Don’t miss the chance to experience all of these journeys at the Egyptian!  

Director Lee Chang-dong will be in person for Q&As at screenings of Peppermint Candy on Monday, November 16, Possible Love (on 35mm) on Wednesday, November 18 and Secret Sunshine on Thursday, November 19.

Possible Love opens in select theaters on October 23. It streams only on Netflix starting November 6.
