South Korea’s Academy Awards submission for Best Foreign Film is being hailed by critics as an utter masterpiece and earned a rapturous nine-minute standing ovation at this year’s Venice Film Festival. No Other Choice follows one man’s berserk search for a new job after he is abruptly laid off from the paper company where he worked for 25 years. The visionary Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Decision to Leave) helms this captivating black-comedy thriller—one of the most highly anticipated and acclaimed films of the season—adapted from Donald E. Westlake’s 1997 novel The Ax.
