SUMMARY:Decision To Leave at Union South Marquee
DESCRIPTION:After a long night spent in the interrogation room\, Detective Hae-jun (Park Hae-il) offers Seo-rae (Tang Wei) a toothbrush to clean out some of the sushi they shared together. \nExcerpt from Alisyn Amant’s October 2022 review: \nGiven director Park Chan-wook’s propensity to subvert conventions of the mystery genre throughout his career\, however\, it makes sense that Decision To Leave follows its predecessors’ sensibilities. That is\, murder becomes the least mysterious part about the narrative he spins. Rather\, viewers will instead need to shift their focus on figuring out the tortuous tension between detective Hae-jun (Park Hae-il) and enigmatic widow Seo-rae (Tang Wei). \nThrough twitches of an eye or subtle movements of an arm\, Park Hae-il and Tang’s performances both succeed in saying what their director’s dialogue refuses to say outright\, for the sake of making viewers work for the answers. Tang’s performance as the seductive suspect\, who happens to be a Chinese immigrant facing intense discrimination and abuse within imbalanced marriages\, could have easily become another face to add to the annals of the “conniving but helpless woman” trope. Instead\, she molds an intensely emotional character that purposely rubs up against patriarchal power—what law enforcement agencies tend to represent in film and other art forms. When Seo-rae is questioned further about her role in her husband’s death\, she essentially and antagonistically asks\, “Shouldn’t you be pitying me because I’m a woman?” It shapes the idea that Decision To Leave is not just another cat-and-mouse thriller\, but a chilling romance of true equals. \nA 25-minute video conversation between Park Chan-wook and fellow South Korean director Bong Joon-ho will also follow this Marquee screening.

SUMMARY:Thirst (2009) at Union South Marquee
DESCRIPTION:In a white room\, Tae-Ju (Kim Ok-bin) feeds on an unsuspecting victim while her paralyzed mother-in-law (Kim Hae-sook) watches. \nBlending eroticism\, horror\, and black comedy\, Thirst (2009) is a twist-filled take on the vampire genre from South Korean director Park Chan-wook. Much like his recent Decision To Leave (2022)\, Park packs his thematic obsessions and ambitious visual style into a hallucinatory tale of doomed love. \nSuffering from a crisis of faith\, Catholic priest Sang-Hyun (Song Kang-ho) volunteers for a medical experiment in an effort to find a cure for a deadly virus. Miraculously surviving thanks to a blood transfusion\, Sang-Hyun becomes a faith-healer figure\, but he begins to experience mysterious symptoms—heightened senses\, carnal urges\, and an allergy to sunlight—that can only be eased by drinking human blood. \nLeaving the church\, Sang-Hyun begins a smoldering affair with Tae-Ju (Kim Ok-bin)\, the wife of a childhood friend. When Tae-Ju convinces him to murder her husband and turn her into a vampire\, the lovers find themselves in a hell of their own making\, tormented by guilt\, deception\, and the ghost of her husband. \nAvoiding the gothic genre trappings\, Park instead draws from his Catholic upbringing and Émile Zola’s novel Thérèse Raquin as source material. A halfway point between Park’s breakout Vengeance Trilogy (2002-2005) and his later\, more psychological works like The Handmaiden (2016)\, Thirst at times feels overstuffed with ideas. But it remains brimming with Park’s signature\, dazzling visuals\, tonal shifts\, and shocking violence. The film verges dramatically between blood-soaked supernatural horror\, torrid romance\, and moments of unexpected slapstick. Audacious and excessive\, it’s a bold genre experiment from one of modern cinema’s most idiosyncratic minds. \n—Ian Adcock
