At the red carpet event of the film No Other Choice, at the New York Film Festival 2025, I got the opportunity to talk to Park Chan-wook and main star Lee Byung-hun about the genre-bending masterpiece they had created.
NYFF
Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice is a darkly comic and visually stunning thriller about a laid-off paper factory worker whose desperate fight to preserve his identity spirals into absurd violence and moral collapse.

‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’ — Tries to Dodge Biopic Clichés, Born to Run Into Them Anyway [NYFF REVIEW]
Not every music biopic needs to chronicle an entire life, and Scott Cooper’s Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere doesn’t attempt to depict The Boss in such a way.
