Filmmaker Park Chan-wook, known for his ultra-violent thrillers that helped catapult South Korean cinema onto the global stage, is back with an altogether different work – a restrained yet deeply emotional love story.

Decision To Leave arrives after the world-smashing success of South Korean entertainment, including Bong Joon-ho's Parasite and Netflix's Squid Game, and has been the top-grossing domestic film in South Korea since opening on June 29.
