Park Chan-wook (Decision To Leave, Old Boy, The Handmaiden) returns with this satirical black comedy/thriller about a husband and father who takes violent action after being laid off.

Man-soo (Lee Byung Hun) had it all: a loving wife, two talented children, and two happy dogs. But after 25 years of loyal service for a paper manufacturing company, he is suddenly made redundant. After an extensive and worrisome period of unemployment, as his redundancy pay dwindles rapidly, he begins to take merciless measures to scoop a coveted position in a new company, leading to wild - and ever more absurd - acts of violence designed to dispatch the competition.

A chilling satire on workplace politics and ruthless status-seeking, No Other Choice is a continuously and deliciously surprising film that more than deserves its comparisons to Parasite. Winner of the Peoples' Choice Award at TIFF.
