Oxnard Film Society Presents "No Other Choice" [Korea]
Details
Another in the foreign film series, this one from Korea [in Korean with English subtitles]. It has been rated by Rotten Tomatoes: 97%/94% [Critics/Audiences]. It is rated R.
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.
Official submission of Korea for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 98th Academy Awards in 2026.
"A masterful (and cunningly comedic) slow boil into madness and obsession with some of the best performances of the year. One of Park Chan-wook's greatest works to date with stunning delivery from Lee Byung-hun." -
Dana Han-Klein, We're Watching

Official Trailer--No Other Choice
All of our events are intended to have a strong social component, something sitting together in a dark theater reading subtitles doesn't provide. So when you get to the theater, just buy your ticket and enter. After these OFS movies, interested movie goers gather at Pacifico's Sushi Mex (on leaving the theater, follow the building to the left). It wouldn't necessarily be my first choice of restaurant, but it does have a Happy Hour and cerveza.
Please enter theater by 3:15 for seating as these films can sell out. Tickets are $9.25 [$8.50 senior].
