Deeper Conversations - Monthly Film Club (Nov '26) - Burning (2018)

Join us for a discussion of Lee Chang-dong’s Burning (2018), the acclaimed South Korean mystery drama that competed for the Palme d’Or at Cannes and became the first South Korean film to make the Academy Awards shortlist for Best Foreign Language Film. Adapted from a short story by Haruki Murakami, Burning is a slow-burning, enigmatic film that rewards close attention and leaves plenty to unpack afterwards. This is a discussion, not a lecture or debate. You don't need any background in film studies, just watch the movie beforehand and come ready to share your thoughts, listen to others, and engage with the ideas the film raises. Whether you've seen it before or are watching it for the first time, you're welcome. The most interesting conversations come from a variety of perspectives. We have a thriving WhatsApp community. Please let me know in-person if you'd like to be added. To help us keep the conversation engaging, space is limited. Please RSVP only if you genuinely plan to join us. No show policy: If you RSVP but don't attend, please cancel your spot beforehand so someone else can take it. Two no shows without cancelling will result in a ban from future events. Deeper Conversations We have a mission at Deeper Conversations to improve the quality of people's lives through conversation. All our events are centred around the concept of connecting deeply, because we believe we all deserve to be seen, felt and understood for who we really are.
