Readthrough summary

Lee Chang-dong's “Possible Love,” his first feature since 2018's “Burning,” is a drama about class and job insecurity rather than a simple eat-the-rich story, NPR's critic writes. It opens at the funeral of a man who worked at a Korean auto plant after restructuring and mass layoffs, and who died by suicide. The review says the film treats capitalism's cruelty as a labor crisis that reshapes families and relationships.
