Based on "The Ax" by Donald Westlake, the film premiered in the main competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, where it garnered critical acclaim.

This week, we're continuing with awards season films. This film received three Golden Globe nominations, was directed by the legendary writer / director of Oldboy, and is about paper and some other stuff. This week is was snubbed at the Oscars. Our reviews were recorded before the snubs. No Other Choice (2025), directed by Park Chan-wook.

Velkommen til 'Cinemajour 85'! Det er første gang i godt og vel 2½ år, vi kaster os over en Cinemajour, så vi skal lige banke rusten af i starten. Men bare rolig. Som episoden skrider frem, finder vi tilbage i et nogenlunde velkendt gear, og det hele begynder at føles "normalt" igen. Vi har til denne optagelse slået lejr på Kim Foss' kontor i Grand Teatret. Kim er både ejer af Grand og en god ven af podcasten, så der skal lyde et kæmpe tak for, at vi må sidde midt i biografens hjerte og tale om film. Vi har en seriøs stak titler med i tasken. Vi ser nærmere på det næste store zombie-kapitel, hvor Danny Boyle har givet stafetten videre til Nia DaCosta. Med '28 Years Later - The Bone Temple' åbner hun endnu en dør i sagaen, der gav os sidste års bedste film (tm), så forventningerne kommer til at spille en rolle. Vi skal også forbi det danske drama 'Begyndelser', der går tæt på et brud, hvor Trine Dyrholm og David Dencik er tvunget til at blive i det, de egentlig var på vej væk fra. Videre til Tokyo, hvor man åbenbart kan lease menneskelige relationer i 'Rental Family', en film der spidder vores moderne behov for nærvær. Med thriller-drama-komedien 'No Other Choice' vender Park Chan-wooks endnu engang tilbage til de danske biografer. En mand mister jobbet og beslutter sig for metodisk at rydde konkurrenterne af vejen i stedet for at opdatere sit CV. Derudover vender vi Lynne Ramsays 'Die My Love', hvor Jennifer Lawrence balancerer på kanten af et sammenbrud, og den rystende 'The Voice of Hind Rajab', der med enkle greb og virkelighedens stemmer sætter sig i kroppen længe efter rulleteksterne. Vi skal også omkring 'The Secret Agent', der byder på 70'er-stemning og brazuca-paranoia. Og så nyder vi virkelig at suse gennem gaderne i Paris i slut-50'erne, mens højrøvede filmskabere diskuterer filmkunstens essens på hvert gadehjørne og kun trækker vejret gennem smøger. Filmen er 'Nouvelle Vague' og vores tourguide er Richard Linklater. Til sidst hopper vi i seriehjørnet med 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms', der kort sagt er en slags "buddy cop"-version af 'Game of Thrones' med Dunk og Egg. Og så tager vi pulsen på 'The Pitt', der netop er landet med sin anden sæson og leverer hospitalsdrama uden filter. Rigtig god fornøjelse! Med venlig hilsen,  Jannik & Casper  Premieredatoer (fundet via Kino.dk, Grand Teatret & HBO/Max) I biografen: 15. januar: 'Begyndelser' (Dansk premiere) 15. januar: 'Rental Family' 15. januar: '28 Years Later - The Bone Temple' (Rammer biograferne ugen efter forgængeren) 15. januar: 'No Other Choice' (Park Chan-wook) 22. januar: 'Nouvelle Vague' (Vises bl.a. i Grand Teatret) 29. januar: 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' 29. januar: 'Die My Love' 5. februar: 'The Secret Agent' (Dansk biografpremiere) Streaming: 8. januar: 'The Pitt' (Sæson 2 på Max) 18. januar: 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' (Premiere på Max)  

In the first episode of a new regular, the Empire Podcast brings you the interviews that matter about the movies of the moment. So that means a lovely chat with the legendary South Korean director, Park Chan-wook, and actor Lee Byung-hun, as they (with the help of translators) tell Amon Warmann about their new movie, and first collaboration in over 20 years, No Other Choice. And things get very Irish as Chris Hewitt sits down with Steve Coogan and Éanna Hardwicke to talk about their new movie, Saipan, which tells the story of the real-life falling out between Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy (Coogan) and captain Roy Keane (Hardwicke)just before the World Cup in 2002. Enjoy.

Well, here's some big news: Beer and a Movie is ENDING, and we talk all about it at the top of this week's episode. But don't panic just yet — there are 13 episodes left, and we'd love for you to join us as we close up shop as we go out the only way we know how: talking movies, drinking great beer, and probably getting a little unhinged. This week, Anthony Zoccolillo joins us to dive into Park Chan-wook, tackling his latest awards-buzzy thriller No Other Choice alongside his all-time WTF masterpiece, Oldboy. We talk vengeance, obsession, craftsmanship, and why Park remains one of the most singular filmmakers working today. On the beer side, we crack open Independence Brewing's Be/Rad IPA, then follow it up with a true unicorn: a 2017-bottled Bourbon County Brand Barleywine, aged, boozy, and absolutely worth the wait. The countdown has officially begun. Grab a beer, hit play, and stick with us till the credits roll.

This week, Josh and Drusilla discuss Park Chan-wook's offbeat vampire flick, Thirst. From wiki: "Thirst (Korean: 박쥐; RR: Bakjwi; lit. 'Bat') is a 2009 horror film written, produced and directed by Park Chan-wook. Based on the 1867 novel Thérèse Raquin by Émile Zola,[7] the film stars Song Kang-ho as Sang-hyun, a Catholic priest who turns into a vampire as a result of a failed medical experiment, and falls in love with Tae-ju (Kim Ok-vin), the wife of his childhood friend (Shin Ha-kyun).[8]"Also discussed: Primate, Godard's Made in U.S.A., Black Christmas, Paul Shrader, Tarantino, and more. NEXT WEEK: Angst (1983) Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

For movie fans, there's nothing quite like losing yourself at a film festival. And that's true whether we're talking about Spokane's annual event or something just a bit more national—or, more to the point, international. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart first discuss the newest film by Park Chan-wook, titled “No Other Choice.” But then Mary Pat and Dan share their recent experience attending the 37th Palm Springs International Film Festival.

It's that time of year! Bella, Nick, and Gimme Three Producer Sonja Mereu start our Favorite Films of 2025 Series with three excellent selections. Since these are 2025 releases, we do want to warn our listeners that we get into some spoilers for all three films we discuss. We start with Paul Thomas Anderson's politically-charged epic and Best Picture contender, One Battle After Another. Second, the movie that took the cinematic world by storm earlier this Spring - the powerfully, sexually-charged vampire film Sinners by Ryan Coogler. Finally, Park Chan-wook delivers a remarkably pertinent, emotional, and wildly funny social satire with No Other Choice. Did you see these 2025 masterpieces?

Acclaimed actor Lee Byung-hun (Squid Game, KPop Demon Hunters) has done a lot to pave the way for Korean films in Hollywood — but he never set out to be a performer. Now, he's reunited with director Park Chan-wook for the satirical drama No Other Choice. The film follows an honest labourer named Man-soo who struggles to find employment after being laid off from the paper mill where he's worked for the last 25 years. As his family makes sacrifices, Man-soo grows frustrated by the crowded job market and his methods for securing employment grow darker alongside his desperation. During the Toronto International Film Festival, Byung-hun sat down with Tom Power to reflect on his role in No Other Choice as well as his superstar career.

On this episode, Eric sits down with the star and director of No Other Choice, Lee Byung-hun & Park Chan-wook.

"No Other Choice," the latest film from director Park Chan-wook, follows a recently laid-off father and husband who resorts to violent means to eliminate the competition as he hopes to reenter the workforce. The film is up for the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy; Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy; and Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language. Park joins us.

South Korean director Park Chan-wook is considered one of living legends working today, known for his dark comedies inspired by film noir like his breakout hit Oldboy. His work also plays with shifting tones, like the paranoia and romance in the 2022 film Decision to Leave. Chan-wook’s newest film No Other Choice continues this pattern, melding the dark tone of a crime thriller with the slap-stick of a comical farce. The film stars Lee Byun-hun as a paper company employee who has just been laid off. Desperate to maintain his identity as a working man, he takes drastic measures to eliminate his competition in the job market. This time on FilmWeek, Larry Mantle speaks with director Park Chan-wook about his new film No Other Choice and how he decides what films to make at this stage in his career. Park Chan-wook is accompanied by his interpreter Jiwoon Lee. You can see No Other Choice in select theaters.

This week we get down to the wire - the DEAD MAN'S WIRE (2:56), that is! (Hey-o!). This drama about a well-known-to-Hoosiers (like Dave) historical incident didn't really work for us. Which incident, you ask? Why, a very public kidnapping! Bill Skarsgård plays a disgruntled Indianapolis resident who holds a mortgage executive hostage over a loan dispute. Featuring an unrecognizable Cary Elwes and Kelly Lynch in small roles (and a recognizable over-the-top - natch - Al Pacino in another), we kind of rip DMW a new one. Following that, we tackle Albert Birney's OBEX (25:57), which is more of a split decision. In it, a man climbs into a fictional 1987 computer game to resuce his dog, avoid cicadas, and battle stop-motion-like skeletons. Over on Patreon, we watched Park Chan-wook's 2003 action thriller OLDBOY.

In anticipation of the Golden Globes, Sean and Amanda start the show by answering five burning questions about this awards season (1:05) before sharing their personal predictions for the Golden Globes (26:56). Then, they discuss Park Chan-wook's ‘No Other Choice', a clever and class-conscious black comedy, which they both absolutely loved (1:11:07). Finally, Sean is joined by director Park to break down what attracted him to the source material and why there was an incredible amount of intentionality behind every decision (1:33:25).

Earth's Mightiest Critics ring in the New Year with the escapism of economic uncertainty!Park Chan-wook's latest film, No Other Choice centers on Man-su (Lee Byung-hun) who has been out of work for several years. In a desperate attempt to eliminate job market competition, he concocts a darkly brilliant plan.

He tracks down the other candidates and eliminates the competition, one by one. Directed by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden), it's filled with great performances and truly masterful action set pieces.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This week, we're diving into No Other Choice, the latest film from Park Chan-wook — a filmmaker known for twisting morality, obsession, and violence into something darkly hypnotic. In this episode, we explore the film's pitch-black sense of humor, razor-sharp tension, and the way Park once again traps his characters inside systems designed to break them. We'll talk themes, performances, and how No Other Choice fits alongside his past work, all without spoiling the film's turns.    Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA

It's our final Breakfast All Day episode of 2025! And we have some great stuff and some not-so great stuff for you as we wrap up the year. All of these movies will be in theaters on Christmas Day: MARTY SUPREME. Timothée Chalamet gives an electrifying performance as a 1950s table tennis phenom. We both loved the film from writer and co-director Josh Safdie, which has the kind of kinetic, propulsive energy we've come to expect from the Safdie brothers as a whole. Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A'zion co-star. ANACONDA (2025). Our good friend William Bibbiani -- you know him as Bibbs -- has seen every single "Anaconda" movie. So he was the perfect person to help review this so-so reboot/remake/whatever you want to call it starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black as aspiring filmmakers in the Amazon. NO OTHER CHOICE. The great Korean director Park Chan-wook is back with another stylish and twisty thriller. "Squid Game" star Lee Byung-hun plays a middle manager who gets fired, then schemes to take out the competition for other jobs. Based on the Donald E. Westlake novel "The Ax." We loved it. Thank you so much for spending the year with us -- we're so grateful for our community. Keep an eye out for our best/worst lists at the start of January. Can't wait to see you in 2026!

Today's episode is a double-feature for design nerds. First, I'm sharing Production Designer Loo Sung He on Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice—in a first-ever translator format where I'm reading her responses. Then we switch to TV with my full audio interview on Overcompensating with Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. Film first, TV second—two deep dives, one episode.First, Production Designer Ryu Seong-hie (Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice) answers Kim Wannop's questions in a unique format: the interview was conducted through a translator, and Kim reads Ryu's translated responses on the show. Ryu breaks down how the film's spaces carry character and pressure—especially Man-su's home, built around a 1970s Korean “French House” ideal (mid-century suburban planning with French Provincial influence), plus the way greenery and color shift as the story darkens.Then the episode switches to TV with the full audio interview on Overcompensating featuring Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. They dive into building the show's visual language—tone, texture, location choices, and the practical realities of designing and decorating a world that feels specific, modern, and lived-in.If you love production design, set design, set decoration, art department craft, and behind-the-scenes filmmaking, follow Decorating Pages Podcast for more conversations with the creatives shaping what you see on screen.

Nathan and Ryan cross the DMZ (metaphorically) to talk about Joint Security Area (2000), Park Chan-wook's breakout thriller that blends political tension, mystery, and emotional drama in a story set at the border between North and South Korea. The hosts dig into the film's Rashomon-style structure, its look at fractured brotherhood, early hints of Park's signature style, and why this film still resonates as one of the strongest anti-war statements of its era. From bullets to bittersweet bonds, Drive-In Double Feature heads into one of the most gripping “what really happened?” mysteries in modern Korean cinema.

"No Other Choice" is a 2025 South Korean satirical black comedy thriller film co-written, produced, and directed by Park Chan-wook and based on "The Ax" by Donald Westlake. The film stars Lee Byung-hun as a desperate paper industry expert who decides to kill his competitors to secure the job he seeks and maintain his way of life. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, where it received universal critical acclaim for its writing, direction, editing and lead performance from Lee Byung-hun. At the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, it was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (Lee Byung-hun). It was also selected as South Korea's entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. Park Chan-wook and Lee Byung-hun were kind enough to spend some time talking with Giovanni Lago about their work and experiences making the film, followed by Dan Bayer's conversation with the film's editors Kim Sang-bum and Kim Ho-bin, which you can watch or listen to below.

Jake is alone and it's six in the morn. He's talking about the well worn idea of vengeance in film, but this ain't no shoehorn. He's talking about Park Chan-wook, a man who was born to make movies Jake is horn... okay let's stop the rhyme.

Lee Byung-Hun joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to dive into the raw, gripping layers of No Other Choice — a tense character study where fear, pride, and desperation collide as one man spirals after losing the career that defined him.Lee opens up about the emotionally charged physicality behind his performance as Man-su — the shaking hands, the subtle gestures, and the nervous tics that make the character feel painfully real. He explains how those moments emerged from a blend of what was scripted, new direction from Park Chan-wook on set, and the emotions that surfaced naturally in the middle of each scene.He also reflects on the global rise of Korean cinema, sharing why audiences around the world connect so deeply with these stories. According to Lee, it's the universality of the themes paired with the unpredictability of Korean storytelling — a combination that keeps viewers hooked no matter where they're from.No Other Choice releases in theaters on December 25.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nerdtropolis.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠

„Nemám jinou možnost než vraždit.“ Alespoň tak to vidí hlavní hrdina satirické filmové komedie Není jiná možnost, když přijde o práci i rodinné jistoty a dojde mu trpělivost. Vyhlédne si konkurenty, kteří by se mohli ucházet o stejnou práci, a jde po nich. „I když je to film relativně dlouhý, protože skutečnost je komplikovaná a to, jak nás Park Chan-wook celým případem provleče, chvilku trvá, je to zábavná a velmi chytrá podívaná,“ přibližuje filmový kritik Pavel Sladký.

The Last Frontier Top User Rated Original Movies per Streamer Last week we ran down the top streamer's price histories and at one point I (Ara), said that Amazon really didn't have many movies worth watching but since it came included with Prime shipping who cares. So this week I wanted to see what Amazon Original Movies were available and how they rated on IMDB. This did not include TV series like Reacher, Terminalist, etc. I just wanted to see if there was something I was missing. Then I expanded it to all the streamers we talked about last week and thus we created a list of the highest rated original movies from each streamer as rated by viewers on IMDB. Note the list goes from lowest to highest. Paramount+ Hunger Ward (2020) with a rating of 7.1/10. This short documentary, directed by Skye Fitzgerald, explores the Yemeni Civil War's famine through the work of two female health workers at therapeutic feeding centers for malnourished children. It premiered on Paramount+ in 2021 and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject. Hulu Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022) with a rating of 7.2/10 based on over 34,000 user votes.

Peacock Psych 3: This Is Gus (2021) with a rating of 7.5/10 based on over 5,500 user votes.

It's praised for its sharp humor, heartfelt moments, and nostalgic callbacks to the original USA Network series. Netflix Marriage Story (2019) with a rating of 7.9/10 (from over 380,000 votes).

Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?" This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years.

It was a completely surprising experience for both, and check out the episode to see if you agree!

Welcome to the final edition of the daily 63rd New York Film Festival podcast. On today's edition, Park Chan-wook and Lee Byung Hun join NYFF selection committee member Justin Chang to discuss No Other Choice. In his diabolical new thriller, director Park crafts a dark fable about the cutthroat nature of contemporary work culture, starring Lee Byung Hun as a husband and father who takes violent action after being laid off. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.

Park Chan-wook's Thirst One of the great thrills of the past ten-plus years is the discovery of new, exciting, and challenging films. On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Mr. Chavez & I dive into the cinema of South Korea's Park Chan-wook for 2009s Thirst. It's fascinating to watch stories we believe we understand and are sure we have witnessed every variation. Park Chan-wook's Vampire story centers around a priest (Kang-ho Song) as he struggles with his beliefs and his slow transformation into the Undead. With an equally exceptional performance from Kim Ok-vin (as Tae-ju, the woman who fall in love with the priest with all of its complications), Chan-wook's film is a beautifully realized exploration of love, religion, death, and sin.

Dr. Anderson has appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, PBS NewsHour, ​The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and Democracy Now!. She has also been featured in the Huffington Post, The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Anderson explains how white rage, the color line, gun culture, and gun violence are knotted together in American history and life. She details how the Black Freedom Struggle -- and Black Americans' claims on their fundamental Constitutional rights, civil rights, and human freedom, including the inherent right of self-defense -- are often viewed as an existential threat by White America. This is especially true in the Age of Trump. Dr. Anderson also warns that America will never be able to end its epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings as long as gun ownership remains intimately connected to whiteness, white masculinity, and a fear of Black people and other non-whites as seen with “stand your ground laws” and other forms of State violence. Chauncey DeVega shares an update about his absence and how he has been experiencing his own version of the iconic hammer fight from Park Chan-wook's film Old Boy. In that context, Chauncey reflects on how America's collapse into mass disinhibition and authoritarianism has greatly accelerated because of last week's horrific events in Utah. And Chauncey goes for a walk around his neighborhood and shares some of the amazing, wondrous, and disturbing things he encountered. This includes offering pastoral care to an honored elder who hit a woman with his truck, and learning some life wisdom from a man who is dying from prostate cancer. This street prophet -- who had a plastic catheter that was visible outside of his pants -- was warning all the young men outside the local drug store to get their annual physicals or they could end up dying a painful death like him. This week's conversation with Carol Anderson is from the archives of The Chauncey DeVega Show and was recorded in July of 2021. I was saving it for an extreme crisis moment such as the one we "the Americans" are experiencing right now. This conversation is eerily and frighteningly prescient and timely.  WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?
