My Love Trailer
In the 2013 documentary My Love, Don’t Cross That River, filmmaker Jin Mo-young adopted an aged married couple – 95-year-previous Jo Byeong-man and 90-year-previous Kang Kye-yeol – for 15 months, documenting their every day lives. Now, Netflix has taken that idea and reworked it into the docuseries My Love, which “documents a year in the lives of six elderly couples from around the world. Globe-trotting through Brazil, India, Japan, Korea, the U.S., and Spain, the six-part docuseries gets to the heart of long-lasting love.”
Based on the trailer, My Love goes to be a touching sequence that can most likely make quite a lot of viewers cry themselves foolish. The couples offered right here genuinely appear to take care of one another, and it’s good to see that portrayed on movie in such a simple approach. EW spoke to Jin Mo-young about the sequence, with the filmmaker saying: “I was very excited to take the theme of love, to expand it into stories in various countries and connect with audiences around the world. I don’t think it’s easy to create an international original documentary series with a theme interpreted in a way that is contemplative and may not be as dramatic, but Netflix saw the power of deeply moving and fun love stories of elderly couples.”
Jin added: “They interviewed elderly couples who knew how to express their love for each other, and we had discussions to decide which couples to feature in the series whose stories were in the same spirit with the original film. As the directors fully understood what the theme and mood of the series should be, I respected and supported their choices. In the end, we had this group of lovely and interesting couples who are so unique in their own ways and universal at the same time.”
Each episode has its personal director – Episode 1: Brazil is helmed by Carolina Sá; Episode 2: India comes from administrators Deepti Kakkar and Fahad Mustafa; Episode three: Japan is directed by Hikaru Toda; Episode four: Korea is directed by Jin Moyoung; Episode 5: Spain’s helmer is Chico Pereira; and Episode 6: USA comes from filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon.
My Love premieres on Netflix on April 13, 2021.
