South Korea’s entertainment sector has completely dominated the global stage. The decision to Leave, directed by Park Chan-wook and starring Tang Wei as the woman Park Hae-character il suspected of murder, is the latest popular movie in the nation. The director discussed his reasoning for choosing the noir genre in an interview with Variety. He also discussed why he decided to add a romance story to his long list of violent films.

Shining at the vanguard of the nation’s contemporary feature scene, Park has an impressive body of work that delves into the darkest aspects of cinema, including Old boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, and The Handmaiden, all of which have won praise from critics. To be honest with you, I didn’t start off attempting to craft a modern interpretation of the noir genre, but rather I wanted to start off from that genre and then move beyond it with my most recent feature, Decision to Leave,” the director said. Despite being widely regarded as a neo-noir picture.

Despite the fact that Park has always infused romance into his movies, his brutal style makes it easy for viewers to ignore this. Therefore, the South Korean director decided to take it easy with Decision to Leave. Before making this film, I asked myself, “Would people laugh at me if I told them I was making another love story?” According to Park and Variety, the love narrative in his movies has frequently been eclipsed by the violence and sex that he adds to them, thus he brought it on himself.

He then continued: “So I realized I had to get rid of that veil in order for people to see the romance story that rests inside. I had to tone down the violence and nudity that takes over people’s [views] of my films. And that’s when people will finally be able to see the romance story within.”

Detective Hae-joon is followed in Decision to Leave as he becomes “trapped in a web of deceit and passion” while looking into Seo-rae, a woman he believes killed her own husband. Even though the widow looks to be innocent, it is still unclear whether her husband’s sudden death from a fall on a mountaintop was an accident, a suicide, or a murder.

Significant international honors for the movie have been bestowed upon it, such as the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Film, the Grand Bell Award for Best Film, and the Grand Bell Award for Best Original Screenplay. In addition, it helped the director win the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Director and the Best Director prize at Cannes. The lead stars of the movie also received honors, taking home the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actress and Best Actor, respectively.
