No Other Choice

Hiya!

We saw director Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden as a group back in October 2016 [yes, we've been around that long]. This week, I've gone with his latest film, No Other Choice, screening in cinema 6 at 6:35pm.
We'll be in the usually meeting place [read on for details] from 6:25pm.

Hope to see you Friday!
Dan

--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--
Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 minutes before the start time or see us in the movie.

--=>+ The Film +<=--
Master filmmaker Park Chan-wook (Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden, Oldboy) returns with NO OTHER CHOICE, a searing corporate satire led by Lee Byung-hun (I Saw the Devil).
When Man-su (Lee), a paper industry expert with 25 years of experience, gets made redundant, his whole world begins to crumble. As his family reduces their lifestyles to accommodate for Man-su’s unemployment, they become at risk of losing their house as he’s unable to find another career position. After a year of working a dead-end job, he applies for Moon Paper, his previous company’s rival, and to ensure he gets the position, he sets out to eliminate the other applicants.
Darkly comedic and ingeniously made, Park’s NO OTHER CHOICE is a masterpiece of social commentary about work culture and climbing the corporate ladder.
Korean language, English subtitles.

--=>+ Tickets +<=--
Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward.

--=>+ Afterwards+<=--
We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice.

If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's.
