## Key points

- *Possible Love* questions whether documentary makers can be impartial.
- Director Lee’s friendship with Mi-ok is shaped by the camera.
- *You Can See Everything* raises doubts about Fielder’s objectivity.

## Summary

Lee Chang-dong’s Netflix drama *Possible Love* explores whether documentary filmmakers can be trusted to present the truth, pairing its fictional story with questions raised by the documentary *You Can See Everything*. It matters because both films challenge the idea that filmmakers are neutral observers, showing how personal feelings, power and artistic aims can shape what viewers see.

Jeon Do-yeon plays Mi-ok, who agrees to appear in a documentary about laid-off auto workers, including her husband Ho-seok, traumatised by a brutal strike. The filmmaker, Director Lee, grows close to the couple while recording their lives, but films Mi-ok’s vulnerable breakdown and switches off the camera when sharing her own personal moments. The article contrasts this manipulation with *You Can See Everything*, which leaves viewers wondering whether Nathan Fielder’s feelings for its subject, Elizabeth Holmes, affected his work.
