No Other Choice

In the organizer's words:

Film satire by Park Chan-wook with Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon. South Korea 2025, now in theaters.

Man-su has created a perfect life for herself through hard work and diligence: A house with a garden, a harmonious marriage, talented children and enough time for his beloved bonsai hobby. But when AI suddenly replaces his job, he and his family have to do without all kinds of comforts: they can no longer afford his wife's tennis lessons, the children's Netflix subscription or even their two faithful golden retrievers. And the longer Man-su writes job applications in vain, the closer he gets to losing his beloved house. Finally he realizes: It's not the lack of jobs that is the problem, but the amount of competitors. Man-su has no choice but to get rid of his competitors - in a very creative way.

Alongside Bong Joon-ho (PARASITE), Park Chan-wook (OLDBOY, THE BAG THIEF) is one of the great masters of clever and artistic entertainment from South Korea. With NO OTHER CHOICE, he has created a bitterly wicked delight, a razor-sharp symphony of the absurd - visually brilliant and bitingly funny. Lee Byung-hun (SQUID GAME) shines in the leading role as a middle-class careerist without inhibitions, but with a bloody green thumb. A wild cinematic experience full of unpredictable twists and turns, which celebrated its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival 2025 and is already well on its way to becoming a cult film.

After being laid off and humiliated by a ruthless job market, a veteran paper mill manager descends into violence in a desperate bid to reclaim his dignity.
