Decision to Leave

A stunning romantic neon-noir thriller with captivating action and subtle, apt irony. The film is an epitome of elegance and restraint.

A depressive detective investigates the death of a man who fell from a cliff. The deceased's widow collaborates with the investigation, but as the case progresses, the detective becomes more suspicious of her and falls more deeply in love with her.

If erotic thrillers of the past explored the dangers of lust, Park Chan-wook delves into the risks of passionate desires of a higher order. His take on the genre goes beyond the sexual; it is playful, acerbic, and intricate. "Decision to Leave" is a film you want to rewatch frame by frame. One of the most beautiful films of 2022.

 Palm d'Or at Cannes for Best Directing.
