What Are Netflix’s Oscar Hopes For Possible Love? | SVU

🇺🇸 EN10. November 20261 Std. 47 Min.

There are challenges and rewards to watching Lee Chang-dong’s Possible Love, the director’s follow-up to 2018’s Oscar-nominated Burning. The rewards come from the film itself, which deftly explores the exploitation of Korea’s working class as an issue of capitalism and class. The challenges come with the platform: can you give Lee’s deliberately-paced, nearly three-hour film the attention it deserves via Netflix? Matt and Jordan found themselves on opposite ends of the challenge/reward spectrum. Plus, streaming recommendations for films like Possible Love; a listener request for films about losing bodily autonomy (like this year’s Obsession); and Producer Sam hosts the most intricate movie game in SVU’s short history.
