OSCAR SHORTLIST: No Other Choice - Discuss over Korean BBQ!
Details
This movie is South Korea's entry into the Best International Film category for the Oscars. Will it get nominated? We don't know - but I was excited to see that it was coming to East Hanover! With a 98% Rotten Tomatoes rating I think this dark comedy is a must-see.
SHOWTIME: We'll see the 1pm show in E Hanover. If you've already seen the film and want to join us for discussion only, please RSVP and note that in the comments.
I was also thrilled about how easy it was to theme this for our discussion! We will have our eat and talk at SGD DUBU SO GONG TOFU & KOREAN BBQ, 240 NJ-10, East Hanover, NJ 07936, which is 3 minutes from the theater by car.

Synposis: From director Park Chan-wook and based on Donald E. Westlake's novel THE AX, the story follows Man-su on his desperate hunt for a new job after his abrupt layoff from the paper company he served for 25 years.
Runtime: 2 hr 19 min
OUR NO SHOW POLICY:
• If you RSVP and your plans then change, we ask that you notify us and change your RSVP as soon as possible - definitely before the start of the event. It's unfair for the group to wait around after the film for people who do not show up. And it fouls up reservations made at the restaurants we visit. NO SHOWS WILL NOW BE WARNED ONCE AND REMOVED FROM THE GROUP AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. We keep a list of no-shows - please change your RSVP prior to the start of the event so you don't end up on it! Thank you for your consideration.
