No Other Choice (CTC)

A masterful satirical black comedy from from legendary filmmaker Park Chan-wook.

Man-su (Lee Byung-hun from Squid Game) thinks he has it all – a loving wife, two children, two Golden Retrievers, and a dream home. When he is abruptly laid off from a paper company after 25 years of service, he vows to find a new job in the industry within the next three months. After a long and fruitless job search, Man-su risks losing the family home. Out of desperation, he hits on a solution to find work: eliminate the competition.

Park Chan-wook, the legendary director of Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden and Oldboy, delivers another stylish and biting satire of contemporary capitalism.
