Korean Film Cycle: Decision to Leave

This year, the festival focuses on the poetry and culture of South Korea, therefore we will be introducing the festival with a cycle of contemporary Korean films.

Decision to Leave (South Korea, 2022, 138 min)

South Korean neo-noir romantic mystery film directed, co-written and produced by Park Chan-wook. The film follows married detective Jang Hae-jun (Park Hae-il), whose investigation of a man's death leads him to the man's widow, Chinese immigrant Song Seo-rae (Tang Wei). Hae-jun's investigation of Seo-rae as a suspect gradually leads him to develop feelings towards her.

In April 2022, Decision to Leave was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where Park Chan-wook won Best Director.

*The Korean film cycle is organised in cooperation with the Ptuj City Cinema as part of the Kino brez stropaprogramme.
