Decision to Leave (2022)
(Heojil kyolshim)
Country: KOR
Technical: col/2.39:1 139m
Director: Park Chan-wook
Cast: Park Hae-il, Tang Wei, Lee Jung-hyun, Go Kyung-Pyo
Synopsis:
A police detective divides his time quite happily between his work in Busan and his wife in Ipo, until the possible murder or suicide of a mountaineer leads him to obsessing over the beautiful widow.
Review:
Film noir, Park style, this is like Basic Instinct with the sex taken out and feelings put in instead. Technology, old-fashioned deduction, linguistics and sushi all have their part to play in this duel of fatal attraction, guilt and remorse. Taking the pace dangerously slow at times, the director dissects in agonising detail the mental processes of his protagonists, using mise-en-scène audaciously to conjure and reconstruct where they imagine themselves to be.
