최휘영 장관이 제83회 베니스국제영화제에서 신작 '가능한 사랑'으로 은사자상(심사위원대상)을 받은 이창동 감독에게 축하의 뜻을 전했다.
On September 13, Minister Choi Hwi-young congratulated director Lee Chang-dong for winning the Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival for his new film 'Possible Love.' In a message on his social media, Choi said, "Director Lee, I wholeheartedly congratulate you on receiving the Jury Prize for 'Possible Love' at the Venice International Film Festival."
Choi noted, "This remarkable achievement, 24 years after your film 'Oasis' won the same award in 2002, marks another significant milestone in the history of Korean cinema. Your deep artistic spirit, which never ceases to question, has once again resonated profoundly with filmmakers around the world."
He added, "Thank you for always being a great pride for the Korean film industry. I also extend my congratulations to the cast and crew, including Jeon Do-yeon, Seol Kyung-gu, Jo In-sung, and Jo Yeo-jeong, who collaborated with you to create this impactful masterpiece."
Earlier, Lee's 'Possible Love' won the Jury Prize at the closing ceremony of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival held on September 12 in Venice, Italy. This marks Lee's return to the Venice main award trophy after 24 years since he won the directing award for 'Oasis.'
'Possible Love,' released eight years after his 2018 film 'Burning,' tells the story of a couple of laid-off workers and a wealthy documentary filmmaker couple who confront different lives and desires through their collaboration on a project. The film will have a limited release in some domestic theaters on September 23 and will be available to global audiences on Netflix starting November 6.
