"NO EXIT" dir. Park Chan-wook | New film from the creator of "Oldboy" | Kino Muranów

When the job market is merciless, you have to eliminate the competition. The protagonist of “No Exit” — the new film by Park Chan-wook, creator of “Oldboy”, “The Handmaiden” and “Stoker” — literally takes matters into his own hands. The Korean master of genre cinema delivers an unsettlingly accurate diagnosis of contemporary anxieties in his uncompromising, authorial style.

Man-su (star of "Squid Games", Lee Byung-Hun) leads an ideal life:

• stable employment
• family
• house
• two golden retrievers

But one day is enough for the idyll to turn into horror. Man-su loses his job at a paper factory, and with it his status, masculinity, identity, honor and sense of life. To get them back, he will stop at nothing, especially since the dirty work brings as much satisfaction as the paperwork.

While mercilessly mocking the rat race, corporate mentality and male ego, the director also comments on the contemporary labor market in the age of AI. “No Exit”, like the cult film “Parasite”, hides piercing observations about class tensions and turbulent social changes beneath layers of black humor. Half-joking, half-serious, Park Chan-wook asks us a provocative question: is there a job you could kill for?

“No Exit” in cinemas from March 13! The film is distributed by Gutek Film.
