NEON has premiered the full trailer for celebrated “Oldboy” and “The Handmaiden” filmmaker Park Chan-wook’s new film “No Other Choice”.
Playing to rave reviews on the Fall film festival circuit, the black comedy thriller stars Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon and Lee Sung-min.
The story follows Man-su, a paper industry expert with 25 years of experience who is living happily with his wife Mi-ri, their two children, and their two dogs.
His world implodes when he is laid off by his longtime employer and vows to find another job within three months for the sake of his family. Despite his resolve, he works a dead-end job for over a year while bouncing from one job interview to another, all while in danger of losing his hard-earned home.
Desperate, he seeks out Moon Paper, a rival paper company. Convinced that he is the perfect fit for the position, Man-su makes a decision to eliminate his competition.
The film opens at Christmas in select cinemas before going wide in January.
