SUMMARY:Lee Chang-dong: A Touch of the Poet
DESCRIPTION:Lee Chang-dong has not amassed the same name recognition among U.S. moviegoers as South Korean countrymen Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) or Park Chan-wook (Oldboy)\, but he has hardly toiled in obscurity. A prize-winning filmmaker and novelist and a former Minister of Culture and Tourism in Korea’s government\, Lee has cultivated a tender\, soulful\, elliptical style all his own—while still confronting the class-based tensions and simmering potential for violence that erupt more extravagantly in Bong’s and Park’s movies. Hooked to his latest film Possible Love\, a hit at last month’s Chicago International Film Festival\, this talk will give equal time to Lee’s aesthetic craft\, rapport with actors\, and sharp-edged social critiques. \nRecommended Viewing: Secret Sunshine (2007)\, Poetry (2010)\, and/or Possible Love (2026\, in theaters now  and coming to Netflix on Nov 6)

SUMMARY:The Unexpected Encounter: All of a Sudden and Mouse
DESCRIPTION:Two of the strongest features at this year’s Chicago International Film Festival were All of a Sudden\, Ryūsuke Hamaguchi’s Franco-Japanese study of reimagined elder care and of strangers who quickly become soulmates\, and Mouse\, Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson’s Arkansas-set drama about a middle-aged mother and a teenage girl who feel but also force an intimate connection in the wake of a shared loss. This talk will explore stylistic and thematic bonds between these warm\, haunted\, soft-spoken masterpieces\, which mirror their own plots by forming an unexpected\, magnetic duo—and which prove that “global” and “local” filmmaking are really one and the same. \nRecommended Moviegoing: Mouse (opening November 6 in Chicago) and All of a Sudden (opening November 25 in Chicago) \nRecommended Home Viewing: Saint Frances (2020) and Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021)
