Topic: No Other Choice (Korean with subtitles)

Matsu is a company man - in paper manufacturing for decades. He has what seems a perfect life and family too. But the beastly Yanks take over the company and he is one of many sacked. He tries to find a new job and fails. So decides the only way is to create a job vacancy AND eliminate the best of those who might apply.

He feels he has No Other Choice. The audience sees there are many.

It’s an odd, over-long film with a really good sound-track and some excellent and funny moments. With some good performances. And it feels like insight into South Korea - although the book is not Korean and the film was originally due to be set in the USA but the funding didn’t materialise.
