    Decision to Leave is a strange, sad movie, stylish and deeply felt. In part, it is about misunderstanding and not knowing your own self, and what happens when you do not understand the difference between love and an attraction to the unknown.

    I loved Park Chan-wook's spectacular DECISION TO LEAVE (2022) when it came out and think it should have gotten some love from the Academy. So it's today's afternoon movie. #filmsky #NowWatching

    One thing that is deeply annoying about streaming is that it is allergic to telling you what type of film something actually is. E.g. is this Decision To Leave, an intelligent, brilliantly constructed thriller, or is it All The Old Knives, a great one-and-done, high quality thriller?

    A nice coup for the Cannes Film Festival. After frequent Croisette appearances with OLDBOY, THE HANDMAIDEN and DECISION TO LEAVE, among others, Park Chan-wook will be the first Korean director to serve as president of the official competition jury at the 79th edition in May.

Houston Film Critics Society is hosting at River Oaks Houston. It's a great Hitchcockian thriller about a cop and a murder suspect who fall for each other. Tickets:

    Decision To Leave (2022) Contender for my favourite film, I just adore Park Chan-Wook's cinematography and storytelling so much aaaaaaaaaaa. Another amazing score, too. It is an unhealthy love story between detective and suspect, and has one of the most memorable ending scenes I've ever witnessed

    Oldboy is a very good movie but yes does deal with some darker themes. A classic revenge flick. That being said, Decision to Leave is considerably better. A film as devastating as it is beautiful.

    Well, now that I’ve seen it, it’s pretty much exactly as demented an oversight that No Other Choice wasn’t even nominated for Best Foreign Film, like Decision To Leave before it. Oscars just don’t understand Park Chan-wook I guess, but these are like immaculate films, you guys.

  • JJ @jjdotbiz.bsky.socialBluesky · Jan 22, 2026

    The International Feature Film nomination process is stupid but also something I'm obsessed with. A Park film has never been nominated both because the Oscars passed on Decision to Leave and No Other Choice but also because South Korea submitted The Age of Shadows in 2016 instead of The Handmaiden.

    If Decision to Leave was Park Chan-wook’s serious Jimmy Stewart Hitchcock movie, No Other Choice is his sillier Cary Grant Hitchcock movie.
