This new film from Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden, Decision to Leave) is a playful yet scathing satire of life under capitalism, full of wildly imaginative camerawork and set pieces. Yoo is a paper expert who is abruptly fired after his company is taken over by an international firm. Yoo and his wife Lee are determined to keep the family home and sustain their lifestyle, which includes expensive cello lessons for their prodigy daughter. However, Yoo struggles to get a new role in the paper industry. Desperate, he sets up a fake job ad to identify the more qualified candidates in his specialist field, with the goal of taking them out of the running by any means necessary…

Reviews: 
“Delectable dark comedy No Other Choice [is] the latest exhibit in the mounting body of evidence suggesting Park Chan-wook may be the most elegant filmmaker alive.” – Jessica Kiang, Variety  

“The film is a zany, all-out crowd-pleaser from Mr. Park, who exhibits a rare genius with the camera throughout, devising breathtaking shots, zooms and transitions.” – Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal
