De negende aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. We staan allereerst even stil bij het overlijden van Robert Duvall en Tom Noonan. Blijkbaar hebben filmstudenten een korte spanningsboog en een verslaving aan de mobiele telefoon. De productie van 8K is gestopt en maar goed ook. Uiteraard is Marino er weer met een prachtig sonnet. William ging speciaal naar de bioscoop voor de podcast, maar zag een dag later een film die ‘m totaal omver blies, in de bioscoop zag hij de nieuwe Park Chan-Wook film ‘No Other Choice' en bespreekt deze kort, want hij had geen andere keus om toch over de andere film te praten, die JP toevallig ook heeft gezien nl. de Wim Wenders film ‘Paris, Texas' uit 1984. JP zag ook nog de nieuwe horrorfilm ‘Primate' met een moordende chimpansee. We trokken de VHS-band van ‘The Prowler' uit de kast, een slasher die we op YouTube al eens hebben besproken. In onze Special blikken we weer terug op een film die we al eens hebben besproken op de bank en kijken we of onze mening wellicht is veranderd, dit keer de klassieker ‘Dirty Harry' uit 1971 en we benatwoorden ook weer vragen van luisteraars over o.a. films met fictieve bands of muzikanten, een film over het draaiend huis, films die leuker zijn om over te praten dan om te kijken, onze top 5 niet Engelstalige films en over onze naam “Cinemaatjes”. Veel luisterplezier! www.youtube.com/@cinemaatjes www.instagram.com/cinemaatjes013 www.facebook.com/cinemaatjes www.patreon.com/cinemaatjes www.letterboxd.com/cinemaatjes
청취자 여러분, Movie Matters Podcast 68화에 오신 것을 환영합니다. Добро пожаловать, слушатели, на 68-й выпуск подкаста Movie Matters.Of toch beter: hallo luisteraars, welkom bij aflevering 68 van de Movie Matters Podcast.En ja hoor, u leest het goed, we vertoeven weer in internationale wateren! Naast twee Koreaanse films, trokken we ook richting het Russische Gorky Park in Moskou (of was het nu Helsinki?). Die laatste film is natuurlijk gewoon American-made, maar de Russische zin paste nu eenmaal beter in onze omschrijving.Peer deed zijn Asian-love weer alle eer aan en koos in de Cinemaat voor “NO OTHER CHOICE”, de nieuwe PARK CHAN-WOOK film. Of dit een hapklare Kimchi-brok bleek voor onze drie hosts, laten we voorlopig in het midden.Gelukkig weerklonk den Echo al gauw. Zwino trok voor zijn pelsmuts aan en ging voor “GORKY PARK”, met niemand minder dan William HURT en Lee MARVIN. Poelie dacht bij zichzelf: Korea, dat is niet zo gek, en hij bleef dan ook daar met zijn keuze voor het brutale “THE CHASER”.Geniet ervan!Dankuwel en tot de volgende!Of beter: 감사합니다, 다음에 또 뵙겠습니다! / Спасибо и до следующего раза!Jullie kunnen ons ook mailen naar moviematterspodcast@hotmail.com Volg ook onze socials: (1) Movie Matters Podcast Op facebook en op instagram: @_moviematterspodcast_ • Volg ons via Letterboxd: Zwino: ThomasZwino's profile • Letterboxd Peer: Lpereboom's profile • Letterboxd Tim: Tim Poelman's profile • en https://boxd.it/4Y95L En Join onze discord waar we samen gezellig over films kunnen praten: https://discord.gg/Krq6uXGWFm

La Berlinale es el primer gran festival del año y sirve para marcar el inicio de la nueva temporada y ver qué tendencias se vienen. En esta edición hay mucho cine de autor, poco Hollywood y presencia española con el debut de Ian de la Rosa y con la serie 'Ravalear'. En este episodio os ponemos al día de todo, escuchamos al maestro José Luis Guerin, analizamos 'Cumbres borrascosas' y charlamos con Chris Hemsworth. Además, en nuestro camino a los Goya, nos interesamos por los cortos documentales y su mirada al mundo de hoy.

In dieser Folge besprechen wir No Other Choice, den neuen Film von Park Chan-wook. Wir haben den Film mit Spannung erwartet. Schließlich ist der Regisseur spätestens seit Oldboy eine feste Größe. Wir analysieren Story, Schnitt und Optik, sprechen über Park Chan-wooks filmische Handschrift und diskutieren, was der Film mit seinen politischen Ansichten und Karl Marx zu tun hat. Und natürlich sagen wir euch auch, ob sich der Kinobesuch für No Other Choice lohnt. Spoiler: Wir sind begeistert.

Pocas veces nuestro crítico de 'Vida y Cine' califica a una película como ha hecho con la adaptación de "Cumbres Borrascosas" de Emerald Fennell. Una pelicula "abominable, infame y tremendamente hortera" que según Ocaña solo se puede ver si te interesa "Jacob Elordi sacando la lengua todo el rato cuando besa". Además de repasar las otras Cumbres Borrascosas que si hacen justicia a la novela de Emily Brontë (La de William Wyler, andrea Arnold y el 'Abismo de pasiones' de Luis Buñuel), Ocaña nos ha hablado de "No hay otra opción", del director coreano Park Chan Wook, una película que también nace de un libro - "El hacha", de Donald E. Westlake - que consigue una adaptación desde el cine de género. "Se acerca al drama del paro con el bisturí que analiza la depresión personal, con la gracia cruel de la comedia negra, con la ampulosidad del melodrama y con la garra del thriller", señala Ocaña.

Twee films met scherpe tandjes. Send Help, met Rachel McAdams in de hoofdrol, stelt de vraag: wat gebeurt er als een consequent gekleineerde werknemer met haar eikel van een baas op een onbewoond eiland beland? En het Koreaanse No Other Choice (van Oldboy-regisseur Park Chan-Wook): wat te doen als je je baan verliest en niemand je een andere kans wilt geven? Voor beide films geldt dat de belangrijkste personages niet bang zijn soms een radicale weg in te slaan. De MovieInsiders - ze komen alle vier voorbij! - stellen zichzelf een andere vraag. Moet je voor deze titels wel of geen bioscoopkaartje kopen?00:00 Introductie03:35 Recensie: Send Help20:00 Recensie: No Other Choice37:00 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"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.

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.
This week everyone saw everything, so we start off with Park Chan-Wook's latest, the darkly comic thriller NO OTHER CHOICE (2:51), in which a 25-year veteran of a paper company is laid off and after a series of poor interviews, can't find another job. So he does the next logical thing: He decides to murder everyone in his field who may be more qualified than he is. Yikes! We all had our problems with this (it ain't THE HANDMAIDEN), but we did find things to like. But it seems we're outliers; NO OTHER CHOICE is getting critical raves but we all found it lukewarm for one reason or another. We follw up with Bradley Cooper's latest directorial effort, IS THIS THING ON? (28:44) Alex (Will Arnett, who's dynamite and also co-wrote the script) starts doing stand-up while sorting through the ditritus of his marriage. Tess (Laura Dern, who's dynamite) returns to her first (professional) love, and...things happen! (Sorry. It's 3 a.m.) Two of us really enjoyed this, and one of us did not. Over on Patreon, we talk about the 1985 Martin Scorsese comedy AFTER HOURS.
"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. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in limited release on December 25th and nationwide this January from NEON. Thank you, and enjoy!
