Review of Decision to Leave (2022) by Shirley Li for The Atlantic — 25 Oct 2022
If the erotic thrillers of the past explored the dangers of lust, Park Chan-wook explores the risks of longing. His take on the genre isn’t just sexy; it’s playful and mordant and convoluted—and it begs to be rewatched, for the electrifying performances and for every frame he composes.
It’s the kind of film that, like an overpowering attraction, refuses to be ignored. The only relief comes from indulging it.
