The most effective (and wild) solution to finding a job while unemployed

But what kind of movie is it exactly? There is no other option.A twisted comedy? One thriller Outlandish? Ungainly social realism? If you suspect that all three of these answers, posed as questions, might be true at once, you're right. Park Chan-wook's new film is a slippery cinematic artifact that resists being viewed in a single way. And how stimulating and unique is that iridescent blend of genres! There are more distinguishing features that explain its exceptional nature: 1) it has a very sharp edge (cinema against the "Now, let no one drown" mentality). And 2) formally it's dazzling. Chan-wook has entered a baroque, experimental, and uninhibited phase in which he likes to play with what he tells through images.

The story that the author ofOld boy Costa-Gavras had already told us about it, with less shamelessness, in 2006 in Arcadia, which adapted the same novel, The axFrom Donald E. Westlake: A paper company worker with a comfortable life is suddenly laid off because, according to the company, there's no other option. Desperate after a year of unemployment, he decides to badmouth former colleagues and other job applicants at the same company because, from his point of view, there's no other option either. An exaggerated and absurd tale about the stable life as a mythological beast, the expendability of any worker, and the banality of evil in decisions (corporate and individual) within the capitalist system.
