Starring Tang Wei and Park Hae-il, and directed by acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook, Korean film “Decision To Leave” is a blend of investigative drama, romance and unexpected humour. The movie eschews the shocking breaking of taboos in his previous work for a deep drama in which subtle emotional tremors coexist with pulsating inner waves.
Synopsis
