Decision to Leave

Acclaimed South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden) returns with a seductive romantic thriller that takes his renowned stylistic flair to dizzying new heights. When detective Hae-joon (Park Hae-il) arrives at a murder scene, he begins to suspect the dead man’s wife Seo-rae (Tang Wei) may know more than she initially lets on. But as he digs deeper into the investigation, Hae-joon finds himself trapped in a web of deception and desire, proving that the darkest mysteries lurk inside the human heart.

Winner of Best Director at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival

"After the world-conquering success of Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite and the small-screen domination of Squid Game, your new, sublimely accomplished Korean thriller obsession is here."
Jessica Kiang, Variety
"Crafted with unforced humor, ravishing visuals and commanding maturity, Decision to Leave intoxicates with its potent brew of love, emotional manipulation — or is it? —and obsession."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
