Again, if you can't make it to this one, there should be later showings on Christmas and in January.

RUNTIME: 139 minutes

SYNOPSIS: When a man is abruptly laid off by the paper company where he has worked tirelessly for many years, he grows increasingly desperate in his hunt.

BLURBS:


"Chan-wook’s dexterity and craft is in great display while marrying the sound and visuals to the off-kilter plot and seamlessly handling the tonal shifts and transitions." - Namrata Joshi, The New Indian Express

"The film is a zany, all-out crowd-pleaser from Mr. Park, who exhibits a rare genius with the camera throughout, devising breathtaking shots, zooms and transitions, his cockeyed visual wizardry perfectly matched to the outlandishness of the plot." - Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal

"A caustic portrait of the rat race as legitimately killer, and another feather in the cap of one of world cinema’s true maestros." - Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
