Director Lee Chang-dong has won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival with his film "Possible Love". The film stars Jeon Do-yeon, Sol Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung, and Cho Yeo-jeong. According to The Korea Times, this is the second time a Korean movie has taken home the award at the festival.
The movie, Lee's first since 2018's "Burning", centers on the encounter between two couples brought together through a documentary project. Sol Kyung-gu and Jeon Do-yeon play a laid-off factory worker and his wife, struggling after a violent police crackdown on labor.
The Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize is the second-highest honor at the festival. Lee previously won the Silver Lion for Best Director in 2002 with "Oasis".
