No Other Choice (Final Screening)
Would you kill for a job?
Directed with pristine precision by Park Chan-wook, NO OTHER CHOICE is a wickedly clever takedown of the corporate rat race that finds a perfect avatar in Lee Byung-Hun’s skillfully hapless performance.
Man-soo (Lee) had it all: a loving wife, two talented children, two happy dogs. He even bought the beautiful forest-enclosed house where he grew up. Then, after 25 years of dedicated work for Solar Paper — where he was awarded Pulp Man of the Year in 2019 — Man-soo is suddenly given the axe.
“Brilliantly scripted by Park Chan-wook, Lee Kyoung-mi, Jahye Lee, and Toronto’s own Don McKellar, ‘No Other Choice’ is a chilling satire on workplace politics and ruthless status-seeking.” (TIFF)
