Director Ken Loach's new film 'My Old Oak' will be released in Korea in January 2024.

The movie 'My Old Oak' (directed by Ken Loach) is scheduled to be released domestically in January 2024.

'My Old Oak' is a touching drama depicting the special friendship between TJ, who runs Old Oak, an old pub in an abandoned mining town in northeastern England, and Yara, a foreign girl who comes to the village. Ken Loach, who directed the film, won the Palme d'Or at the 59th and 69th Cannes Film Festivals for 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley' and 'I, Daniel Blake', respectively.

Director Ken Loach has illuminated the darkest and lowest places in our society and delivered calm yet sharp messages about the welfare system and class structure. 'My Old Oak', the first new work in four years, is the finale of Ken Loach's trilogy set in northeastern England, following 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'I'm Sorry, Ricky'.

In an interview after the premiere at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, director Ken Loach said, "It would be difficult to make a feature film again," and hinted that this was his last film. The production team, including screenwriter Paul Laverty and producer Rebecca O'Brien, who have worked together for a long time, as well as Ken Loach's team, including his persona Dave Turner, have teamed up once again.
