Lee Chang Dong’s seventh feature film, Possible Love, is inspired by true events from 2009, when a Korean conglomerate fired a third of its staff – 2,600 employees – after which many died by suicide. Possible Love is the latest in a long line of Lee movies that engage with themes of class or labor or religion or compressed modernity, that uniquely Korean affliction, without feeling didactic. A different kind of movie would have captured the heat of that labor struggle.
