No Other Choice (15)

2025 S Korea

Dir. Park Chan-wook

When paper company employee Yoo Man-su is abruptly laid off, he loses the perfect life he’s worked hard for. He promises his family that he’ll find a new job within the next three months – but that proves impossible and, as the severance pay dries up, his wife Lee Miri starts to talk of cutbacks. Man Su, in turn, grows more and more desperate. Dropping to his knees in front a manager at rival company, he pleads, “My wife cancelled Netflix!” When a new job finally comes along, he realises a cunning plan to get rid of his competition via any available means.

Another delightfully wicked black comedy from director Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden, Oldboy) featuring his signature twists, dark humour and exquisite imagery – everything that has made him such a unique cinematic presence.
