Cannes Review: Park Chan-Wook’s ‘Decision To Leave’

Detective Hae-joon is investigating the death of a man who fell from a mountain in Park Chan-wook’s latest film in competition at Cannes, Decision To Leave. It’s been six years since the director’s last movie here, The Handmaiden, which made a splash in 2016. Will Decision To Leave get the same unanimous applause? Well, that depends if you like the whole movie or just parts of it. I am in the latter category. Is it as strong as some of his other films? No, but the characters make taking the entire two-hour and 18-minute ride to the end worth it.
Seo-rae (Tang Wei), is now a widow. Her husband tumbled off of a cliff accidentally. Or did he? Hae-Joon (Park Hae-il) starts to suspect Seo-rae to be the killer. He has a reason, as her affect is flat when a woman should be grieving over her husband, right?...
