Park Chan-wook is a master of movie making. And he's seemingly getting better with age. Leaving the sex and violence of previous hits such as Oldboy, JSA, and The Handmaiden behind him, Decision to Leave / 헤어질 결심 (2022) explores the relationship between a Korean man and a Chinese woman, completely incompatible, seemingly madly in love, and destined to destroy each other. These two roles are played expertly by Tang Wei and Park Hae-il. "The moment you said you loved me, your love ended. And the moment your love ended, my love began.” The movie is a piece of art: a poem. It encourages you to watch it multiple times, with each viewing providing greater insight into the layers constructed: through sound, language, visuals, and mis-en-scene. I sat down with two Korean women, Jimin and Yunsuh, and a Chinese woman, Jessie, to explore this movie from a variety of perspectives: art, beauty, gender, love, and morality. Each of them provided views and insights I would never have found myself. And yet, it still feels like there is so much that went unsaid.

Are straight people okay? Clearly not, since we're launching into unprompted Star Wars rants in the middle of AAPI Heritage Month. Welcome to a big heckin negative review episode as TJ and Trevor chime in about a genre that is very much not for them: the erotic thriller! Featuring 2007's Lust, Caution, 2022's Decision to Leave, and very much not any Marvel movies, why would you even think that? We take this opportunity to acknowledge why Sandra Oh should be in more things, and that you should never waste a perfectly good Stephanie Hsu. In addition to those universal truths, join us for The Who (or George W. Bush), Tony Leung's ungodly rizz, reading wives for filth, and not thinking straight. Thinking GAY.
Chinese actress Tang Wei won the Best Actress Award in South Korea for her role in the movie 'The Decision to Break Up'. This is her second time receiving this honor.

Watch your step! Apply caution, there's lust in the air! Get a wet floor sign (the joke didn't really work on air either but it's honestly the best I have at the moment)!The steamy, raunchy, espionage, spy thriller with all those "hard" sex scenes in them: LUST, CAUTION (2007). I mean they're pretty eye-catching, especially if you happen to lock eyes with Tony Leung at any point during them as he's squashing Tang Wei into as small a ball as possible. It's a mixed bag for us. One of those rare occasions where Ryan likes something more than Laura does. There's plenty to like here but when you're posing an argument that it may be didn't need the hard sex scenes as pertaining to our interests on the podcast and in order to tell a good story, you know something's up.

We're back and have some new changes to the show. Graham kicks off Season 2 with a stellar pick, Park Chan-wook's sublimely romantic mystery Decision to Leave.
Settimana ad altissimo tasso di cinema d'autore. Escono in sala film come "Gli spiriti dell'isola" diretto da Martin McDonagh, con Colin Farrell e Brendan Gleesonn e "Decision to Leave" diretto da Park Chan-wook, con Tang Wei e Park Hae-Il. Ma cominciamo con l'apocalisse, perchè M. Night Shyamalan torna alla regia con "Bussano alla porta" con Dave Bautista e Rupert Grint. Ne parliamo con il nostro Boris Sollazzo. Dalla sala alla salotto, si può dire, e alle piattaforme perchè su Amazon Prime Video è uscito un film molto particolare per il cinema italiano, si tratta di "Ipersonnia", diretto da Alberto Mascia e interpretato da un grande Stefano Accorsi, ai nostri microfoni per raccontare la storia e per parlare delle differenze e delle analogie tra la realtà che ci circonda e quella distopica del film. "Asterix e Obelix nel regno di mezzo" diretto da Guillaume Canet, con Guillaume Canet e Gilles Lellouche è la nuova avventura, nella quale però di nuovo non c'è moltissimo, della serie creata da Renè Goscinny e Albert Uderzo. Lo ha visto per noi Chiara Pizzimenti.

Die Frau im Nebel (Park Chan-wook) Seo-rae (Tang Wei) ist eine Frau, die gern die Kontrolle behält. Selbst als ihr Mann in den Tod stürzt, bleibt sie seltsam unberührt. Der Kommissar Jang (Park Hae-il), vertraut mit den Abgründen der menschlichen Seele, stellt Seo-rae ins Zentrum der Untersuchung. Doch seine Faszination für diese so verletzliche wie aufregend schöne junge Frau unterwandert die Ermittlungen. Jang beobachtet Seo-rae, umkreist sie, verfolgt sie. Aus Verhören werden Gespräche, aus Verdacht wird Hoffnung. Doch die Wahrheit macht ihre eigenen Spielregeln, die Seo-rae und Jang schon bald nicht mehr unter Kontrolle haben.

Ein Krimi, ein film noir, eine Liebesgeschichte, ein Melodram, eine Komödie, voller Bezüge zum US-Schwarzweisskino der 1940er und 1950er Jahre – und doch ist Park Chan-wooks Film etwas ganz eigenes, etwas einzigartiges. Typisch für einen film noir ist die Kombination des Polizisten, der versucht das Richtige zu tun, und der charismatischen femme fatale, die unter Verdacht steht. Der Polizist Hae-jun (Park Hae-il) glaubt, dass die Witwe Seo-rae (Tang Wei) ihren Mann ermordet hat. Während er der Wahrheit näher kommt, kommt er auch der aus China stammenden Seo-rae immer näher. Die kleinen Gesten, die Wortwechsel, die koreanisch-chinesischen Sprachspiele, die Perspektiven – Chan-wooks Inszenierung ist einfallsreich und überraschend und gibt der Geschichte eine enorme Intensität.Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film sind die Üblichen Verdächtigen sehr beeindruckt und diskutieren über Ameisen auf der Kameralinse, über grafische, konstrastreiche Bilder, über das Flimmern zwischen den Genres, über brillante, komische Momente, über eine enorme emotionale Präsenz, über die großartigen Darsteller, über die Inszenierung und Mehrdeutigkeit des Essens und des Kochens, über die Liebe zu allen Figuren, über Handcreme, Bratäpfel und Jackentaschen. Alle wollen den Film noch einmal sehen. Am Mikrofon direkt nach dem Film vor dem Capitol-Kino: Katharina, Johanna, Heidi und Thomas.

The cinematic world is abuzz with praise for the latest film from Korean director Park Chan-wook entitled Decision to Leave. Park is already well known for his daring movies treating themes of horror and violence, most famously The Handmaiden, and Oldboy. As it happens, Decision to Leave is something of a departure for him, a stylish murder mystery and intense romantic suspense film. Although the new picture has relatively less violence or horror, Park's love of provocative experimentation remains. The story concerns a homicide detective from Busan named Jang Hae-joon, and played by the very skillful Park Hae-il. He's a dogged investigator in his 40s, with a lovely wife that lives in another town and whom he only sees on weekends. Currently assigned to a sensational murder case, he is called one night to what looks like a bad accident—a climber has fallen off a steep cliff to his death. But the dead man, an immigration officer, has DNA traces under his fingernails, which match the DNA of his wife, Song Seo-rae. Suspicion falls on her because she shows no surprise or sorrow when told of her husband's death. Medical records, however, show that she had been physically abused many times by her husband, who beat her and scratched her, which would explain the DNA under the fingernails. So the evidence begins to point to suicide rather than foul play. But this mysterious woman, Seo-rae, begins to evoke an attraction in the cop investigating her. She's Chinese, and her difficulty speaking Korean somehow adds to her strange charm. Seemingly against his will, Jang becomes gradually more obsessed with her, to the point that it becomes noticeable to his colleagues, who complain that he's neglecting the high-profile murder case of which he's in charge. Park's sense of screen composition is so smooth and assured that Decision to Leave can't help but remind me of great Hollywood films from the classic era, and specifically of Alfred Hitchcock. The idea of a man's overpowering obsession with an unknowable love object is of course paralleled in Hitchcock's great 1958 film Vertigo. But this movie has a different emphasis and a more modernist technique. When the film reveals something from the past, instead of clearly demarcating the different time frames in some way, Park cuts suddenly to a similar shot and point of view, when we suddenly realize we're in the past, without a transition. This creates a fluid subjective quality—we're inside Jang's head, where his experience and memory become interchangeable. And the film does the same thing with space as with time. At one point, Jang is doing surveillance of Seo-rae with binoculars, in his car outside her building. But then, as she picks up the telephone, he is suddenly in the room gazing at her, sniffing the air, and then she looks straight out the window, startling him, and all this time he is still in the car. The multilayered visual style depicts almost tangibly the progression of Jang's mad love for this woman, who remains a suspect. I don't think this would work so well if Park hadn't chosen the perfect person to play Seo-rae, the subtly beautiful Chinese actress Tang Wei. Tang doesn't play a seductress here. On the contrary, her seriousness and the ambiguity of her facial expressions convey the idea that this is someone who is wholly her own person, and someone you want to believe. The murder mystery is complicated, and the viewer must pay close attention to follow it. But the real story here is the emotional journey of a man desperately and dangerously in love. Decision to Leave is a glittering jewel of a film.

“The closer you look, the harder you fall.” Park Chan-wook cross-pollinates a police procedural with a femme fatale romance in his latest film. Swirling around two lost souls navigating a web of murder, deceit, and desire to desperately cling to their perverse affair, Decision to Leave is a sensual puzzle box. We discuss the illustrious director's filmography, the painterly craft behind the movie, and the inscrutable Tang Wei.

On this episode of the FILM ETC. podcast, host Mike Webb gives his thoughts on the romantic mystery thriller DECISION TO LEAVE from master filmmaker Park Chan-wook, and how Korean cinema has received a worldwide following in recent years. DECISION TO LEAVE is centered on Hae-jun (Park Hae-il), a seasonal detective in Busan who investigates the suspicious death of a man on a mountaintop. Soon he begins to suspect the deceased's wife Seo-rae (Tang Wei) while being unsettled by his attraction to her. The film also stars Lee Jung-hyun, Go Kyung-pyo, Park Yong-woo, and Jung Yi-seo.

Korean auteur Park Chan-wook's DECISION TO LEAVE is something of a departure for a director best known for the violent and sexual provocations of films like "Oldboy," "The Handmaiden," and "Stoker." His latest involves a murder, but Park's camera is more attentive to the mounting attraction between Hae-joon's married police detective and the victim's wife, played by Tang Wei. Park's film inspires this week's Top 5: Cops In Love, which gives Adam and Josh a chance to give director Kathryn Bigelow some love, along with titles from Jane Campion, Peter Weir, Martin Scorsese, and Otto Preminger. 1:14 - Top 5: Cops In Love 32:12 - Next Week / Notes 39:58 - Massacre Theatre 44:35 - Review: "Decision to Leave" 58:23 - Top 5, cont. 1:16:17 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're revisiting a special conversation from the 60th New York Film Festival with director Park Chan-wook and actor Park Hae-il on the season's biggest hit, Decision to Leave. Moderated by NYFF Executive Director Eugene Hernandez. Busan detective Hae-joon (Park Hae-il) finds that he's increasingly obsessed with a puzzling new case: a middle-aged businessman has mysteriously fallen to his death during a rock climbing expedition. Upon discovering photos of his abused wife, a Chinese national named Seo-rae (Tang Wei), Hae-joon begins to suspect it wasn't an accident, all the while becoming emotionally and erotically drawn to her. From this Hitchcockian situation, director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy) weaves a swelling, expanding, ever more complex tale about a possible black widow and the investigator who just might be fashioning his own web. One of Park's most enveloping and accomplished thrillers, which earned him the Best Director award at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Decision to Leave is a constantly surprising, elegantly constructed film that builds in power to a truly haunting denouement. Decision to Leave is now playing in our theaters! Get showtimes and tickets at filmlinc.org/decision
Ep. 143: Park Chan-wook on Decision to Leave Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I'm your host, Nicolas Rapold. Park Chan-wook's Decision to Leave is one of the best films of 2022, hands-down, showing the Korean master at the height of his powers with this dazzling, seductive thriller. I was fortunate enough to sit down with director Park during the New York Film Festival, where Decision to Leave screened, following its world premiere at Cannes in May. We discussed the origin of the story, his filmmaking decisions from the micro to the macro, the casting of Tang Wei and Park Hae-il, his collaboration with the screenwriter Jeong Seo-kyeong, and, naturally, the last film he saw. Note: director Park spoke through a translator who is heard on the audio.

"Decision To Leave" is one of the year's most buzzed-about films ever since its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. In the much-anticipated follow-up film to "The Handmaiden," writer/director Park Chan-wook has crafted a femme fatale romance with his usual quirky humor, twists, and precise filmmaking. He won the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and the film has now been selected as South Korea's official submission for this year's Best International Feature Film Oscar race. Park Chan-wook and his leading man Park Hae-il were kind enough to chat with me about the film as they both discussed working with the film's leading actress Tang-Wei, and what it was like shooting the climatic scene on the beach during high tide, and more. Please make sure to see the film now playing in theaters from MUBI; take a listen down below and enjoy! Thank you. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Yi's eyes soften as he watches Jiazhi sing a Chinese folk song with subtle, feminine movements in the film, Lust, Caution. The room fills with laughter when Ali Wong unabashedly enacts her vulgar, bodily desires. What is the affect created through these performances? At different localities and temporalities, an actress and a comedian Tang Wei and Ali Wong embody ever-failing meaning of Chineseness, offering themselves for consumption and survival. In Vulgar Beauty: Acting Chinese in the Global Sensorium (Duke UP, 2022), Mila Zuo re-evaluates beauty to understand how it creates a feeling Chineseness, engendering a messy world of relationalities that challenge a stable binary of national identity. Using weidao, which escapes meaning in English as flavor and style of a person, object, or environment, Zuo challenges the Cartesian epistemology dividing mind/body and vision/hearing. Through in-depth analysis of films and shows, Zuo asks how five flavors of Chinese medicine, “bitter, salty, pungent, sweet, and sour” become “modalities of vulgar beauty” (33). Vulgar, often tied to the non-western and working-class bodies, becomes a means to complicate the relations between objecthood and subjecthood embodied in Chinese beauty. This beautifully written and theoretically rich book will be helpful resource for any scholars and public interested in film and media studies, Asian American studies, object studies, and gender studies. Mila Zuo is an assistant professor in the Department of Theatre and Film at UBC. Her first book Vulgar Beauty: Acting Chinese in the Global Sensorium (Duke University Press, 2022) focuses on the affective racialization of Chinese women film stars, demonstrating the ways which vulgar, flavourful beauty disrupts Western and colonial notions of beauty. In addition to scholarship, Zuo directs and writes narrative films, visual essays, documentaries and music videos. Her short films have screened in international film festivals and universities, including Carnal Orient (2016) which premiered at Slamdance Film Festival, and her short narrative film Kin (2021), which was the recipient of the 2019 Oregon Media Arts Fellowship, and screened at HollyShorts Film Festival.

A two hour and forty five minute Chinese language period spy thriller with enough explicit sex to earn a dreaded NC-17 rating by the MPAA.

Plans of becoming a doctor were suddenly thrown off course when Dominic failed the MCAT - and if you could fail while going the “safe” route, you might as well fail while doing what you love. With that in mind, Dominic booked a one-way ticket from Madison to Los Angeles to pursue acting. He managed to land a gig as Tang Wei’s acting coach for a film in Hong Kong...but even that dream was short-lived, ending just a couple of weeks into the job. Taking things in stride, Dominic turned his side hustle as an SEO strategist into a full-time remote job while traveling to over 30 countries - reading, learning, experiencing. He’s now the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar marketing agency, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient. An unconventional path, to say the least...but it worked out. And by sharing life and career advice with the next generation of graduates, Dominic hopes to use his platform and experience to encourage them to chase after what they want. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/asianhustlenetwork/support

In what is quickly becoming an annual tradition, Mike and Sean ventured out their local AMC theatre to record an episode on-location at the Seattle premiere of the new Johnnie To film. This year it's Office, a musical drama set in a financial firm in the midst of the 2008 collapse starring Chow Yun-fat, Tang Wei, Eason Chan and Sylvia Chang (who also adapted the screenplay from her own play, Design for Living). Chang as well has a film she's directed playing at this year's Vancouver International Film Festival, as does Romanian director Corneliu Porumboiu, whose 2009 film Police, Adjective they also discuss this week. In addition they talk about the work of Johnnie To in general and pick some under-the-radar films they're looking forward to seeing during at next week's trip to VIFF.
On the occasion of its single showing in Seattle this week, Mike and Sean talk about John Woo's A Better Tomorrow, with Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung. They also discuss Michael Mann's Blackhat, with Chris Hemsworth and Tang Wei, out now on video and one of the best films of the year so far. And they argue about Pixar's latest, Inside Out, celebrate Mel Brooks's birthday and make their picks for the Essential American Movie.
更多影评信息请关注咱们今天的微信:搜索英语环球 NEWSPlus The Golden Era is a 2014 Chinese-Hong Kong drama film directed by Ann Hui and starring Tang Wei and Feng Shaofeng. Tang portrays Xiao Hong, while Feng plays Xiao Jun; both are two of the most important writers in 20th century China. Laiming tells us more. Before seeing Chinese director Ann Hui's latest offering "The Golden Era", I was compelled to do a bit of homework, because this biopic of Chinese writer Xiao Hong seemed pretty daunting to anyone who are not familiar with Chinese literary circle in the early 20th century. However, after a grueling three-hour-long screening, I found these efforts totally unnecessary. "The Golden Era" is along the same line of the director's usual creative impulse of telling stories from a feminine perspective. Her version of Xiao Hong is a girl who spent her entire life running away from patriarchal control, yet had to rely on men in each step she took. It was an era when traditional values began to dissolve along with the collapse of China's last imperial dynasty, but it was not at all a golden era for women. About the age of 20, Xiao Hong eloped with a young man to escape her abusive father and an arranged marriage. Her conspirator of a boyfriend abandoned her when hotel bills swelled beyond their means. Confined by the hotel owner who threatened to sell her to a brothel, a pregnant Xiao Hong wrote to a local newspaper asking for help. That was how she met Xiao Jun, a married man and an editor of the newspaper who later became her partner both in life and in literary career. At the encouragement of Xiao Jun, Xiao Hong began the life of a writer and gradually established her name among the literary circle. But eventually the couple split up due to different life choices and Xiao Hong married another man, a few days before she died of tuberculosis. The film is expected to include a panorama of Chinese literary figures of Xiao Hong's time and to offer an insight into that part of Chinese history. It was a reasonable speculation because the director had three hours to fill, with nothing but the 31-year of Xiao's tragically short life. However Ann Hui hardly paid any heed to characters other than the most important men in Xiao's life. As for the turbulent and eventful history, that was scarcely the concern for Xiao Hong the writer, and was therefore given minimum attention. The focus of the film remains on the fate of the female writer in relation to the men in her life. Some critics also lashed out at the director's experiment with the narrative format. Much of Xiao Hong's life remains a myth due to contradicting accounts offered by her contemporaries. These accounts are frequently brought up as interludes in the film, where the speakers often address the audience directly. Such arrangement may seem a bit strange and could create a false sense of authenticity. But "The Golden Era" is not to be mistaken as a documentary; it is merely a conduit for the expression of feminine ideas. Lead actress Tang Wei is not to blame for a character that's constantly in sight but never in focus; she's done her best to portray a mystical woman within the constrains of the script. Feng Shaofeng, Wang Zhiwen and Zhu Yawen also present as much skills as is needed in the plot. "The Golden Era" is a film for a niche audience; it is not likely to make much of a dent in the box office. But I'm sure it'll resonate among the most understanding critics.

Korean movie 'Late Autumn' is very likely a record breaker. Three days after its release in mainland theatres, the film has raked in 28 million yuan in ticket sales, trailing behind the previous record holder 'Sector 7' which took some 30 million yuan from Chinese viewers. The success of this exotic chick flick is not surprising, as it stars popular Korean actor Hyun Bin and Chinese actress Tang Wei. This combination alone is enough to draw swarms of viewers who are always ready to embrace their artistic side. 'Late Autumn' is the second remake of the 1966 classic Korean film of the same title. It depicts a romantic encounter between a female convict on parole and a male gigolo. To distinguish the film from previous editions, director Kim Tae-yong changed the movie's setting to the foggy city of Seattle, USA; representing the only virtue within a film which is otherwise a disaster。 To fit in with the American setting, the two leading characters, both Asian, are forced to speak a foreign language for the majority of the time. Their accented English highlights the pair's identities as social outcasts, both of whom lead a marginal existence in a strange world, providing fertile soil for the ensuing compassion, romance and love. Another benefit of the setting is related to the actress Tang Wei. Rumor has it that since her over-exposal in Ang Lee's 2007 espionage thriller 'Lust, Caution,' she has been living the life of an exile. Regardless of its authenticity, the rumor has gained Tang Wei more popularity than she could have owned with her discouraging acting style. Based on her performance in 'Lust, Caution' and 'Late Autumn,' I think I can safely assume that she is utterly incapable of changing her facial expression in different circumstances. However, this numb but pretty face probably satisfies the Western perception of the quiet and mysterious Asian female. Moving the setting to Seattle gives Tang Wei the opportunity to maximize her so-called 'advantage.' But it's bad news for the director who bases the bulk of the storyline on the psychological progress of the lead actress. A poker face may have been helpful in portraying a woman who has spent seven years behind bars, but seeing Tang wear the same mask as she experiences emotional ups and downs over the course of two hours is sure to cause some viewers to lose interest. With the storyline spoiled as a result, viewers have to put up a real struggle before acknowledging the romance that exists between the two characters. You'll try hard to make sense of it all, but even the most foolhardy of movie goers won't be emotionally prepared to witness the prolonged kiss near the end. And from where I was standing, it seems as if the kissing couple wasn't ready for it either. Regardless of its failings, I've only been able to give you a glimpse at this incredible, record-setting Korean movie. But I'm sure the record will be easily broken again, as long as the right actors are put together with the right storyline. On a scale from one to ten, I give 'Late Autumn' a four.
