Decision to Leave

This week we're headed back to the cinema to watch this year's Korean art film darling Decision to Leave by celebrated director Park Chan-Wook about a detective who catches feelings for the widow he is investigating for the death of her husband. We dive into how the film tackles the tropes of noir detective fiction, and how restrained this film is in depicting violence and sexiness. We also feature a special bonus "spoiler zone" to discuss how this detective thriller resolves (for those looking for additional hot takes)!What's Popping? - Ticket to Paradise, Itaewon Class, The Bear---Played by Obie Award winner Francis Jue (Pacific Overtures, Soft Power), a father learns that closing the door to his past means shutting his daughter out in Good Enemy, a haunting and hopeful world premiere play from Yilong Liu.
