A family of laid-off workers cross paths with a documentary filmmaking couple, who wish to film the workers lives. As their paths continue to cross, desires and impulses buried deep within begin to stir and swell into turbulent waves, reshaping the possibilities of both life and love. Possible Love neither hastily pits capitalist against worker nor conveniently divides fiction from documentary, and it resists prying open the carefully layered inner lives of its characters. Lee Chang-dong slowly explores his characters and spaces, moving through subtle glances and fleeting expressions, between hollow laughter and cynicism, kindness and division, constraint and freedom. Even when birdsong in the forest awakens desire and they are not easily seized by it; even waves that offer a space of liberation cannot bridge the gap between desire and dignity; and the pitiful howl of an animal echoing through the forest promises no better life. And yet, when Possible Love comes to rest before a bright full moon and a rainbow cast by sunlight on flowing water, you come to believe that an ordinary love between ordinary people is indeed possible. This is thanks to Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung, and Cho Yeo-jeong, who threw themselves into the film with faith in the power of worldly life, emotion, and raw instinct. (PARK Inho)
