Does The Academy Have ‘No Other Choice’ But To Finally Recognize Park Chan-wook?

Celebrated South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook has created a clever, ambitious, sometimes-stinging satire on the ever-growing class divide and how one man will stop at nothing to make sure his family continues to live in the manner in which they’re accustomed.

No Other Choice is South Korea’s International Feature Oscar submission, the second time a Chan-wook film has been submitted.  Decision to Leave made the short list in 2022. The film premiered at this year’s Venice International Film Festival and is being released by Neon in select theaters Christmas Day and everywhere in January 2026.

The Contending's Frank J. Avella had a video chat with the filmmaker about his latest work.
