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? What'd you think of them?

"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!

I dagens episode snakker Johannes, Arthur og Jakob om filmene til den koreanske regissøren Park Chan-wook. Vi diskuterer Wooks mesterlige toneskifter mellom dramatikk og komikk, og hans filmspråklige lekenheter med utgangspunkt i filmene JOINT SECURITY AREA (2000) OLDBOY (2003) og den rykende ferske og festivalaktuelle NO OTHER CHOICE (2025). Er OLDBOY så bra som alle skal ha det til? Opplever vi filmer annerledes på grunn av kulturforskjeller? Og hvor kommer Danby Choi inn i bildet? Svar på dette, og mye annet tull og fjas får du servert i løpet av dagens sending.

Der Gestaltungswille von Park Chan-Wook ist berüchtigt und kann auch überfordern: jede Einstellung ist so intensiv und kreativ, dass es zumindest am Anfang von den Charakteren ablenken kann. Es geht um eine Frau, die nach 13 Jahren aus dem Gefängnis entlassen wird. In der Haft hat sie sich als Engel der Barmherzigkeit erwiesen, ist aber zugleich auch ein Engel der eiskalt geplanten Abrechnung. Sie wurde verurteilt wegen des Mordes an einem kleinen Jungen und hat noch einige Rechnungen offen. Achtung: Diesmal wird auch geSPOILERt! Erst den Film schauen, dann weiterlesen und Podcast hören.Unsere Protagonistin ist keine eindimensionale Heldin, sie ist nicht ohne Widersprüche. Ängste, Dämonen und Schuldgefühle verfolgen sie. Dennoch gelingt es ihr, ihren komplexen Rachefeldzug Schritt für Schritt umzusetzen. Trotz der fast aufdringlichen kunstvollen Gestaltung stieg bei uns als Zuschauer der Adrenalinpegel. Wir fühlten mit unserer Protagonistin und mit den Eltern der Opfer mit. Viel Drama, aber wenig Pathos – auch als die Handlung im letzten Drittel auf ein Mord-im-Orient-Express-Schema wechselt: viele Opfer, viele Motive. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film diskutieren wir unter anderem darüber, was das alles mit Vivaldi und Tofu-Ritualen zu tun hat. Am Mikrofon mit dem ersten Eindruck: Johanna und Thomas.

And Karl and Rachael retell their own tales of vengeance. …So come join us for a podcast episode best served cold….

David and Tamler dive into the mysteries at the heart of Park Chan-wook's deeply disturbing masterpiece "Oldboy" (2003). An ordinary man, Oh Dae-su, is imprisoned for 15 years in an old, windowless hotel room. After being abruptly released Oh Dae-su embarks on a mission to discover why he was imprisoned and to get revenge on the man who did it. But does Oh Dae-su really want to know the answers? And is he asking the right questions? (SPOILER HEAVY EPISODE! See this movie before you listen! Available on Netflix in the US.) Plus, how familiar are you with words the words azimuth and espadrille? Turns out that the answer may depend on your gender. Brysbaert, M., Mandera, P., McCormick, S. F., & Keuleers, E. (2019).
