9 Dec
Summary
- Film receives three Golden Globe nominations, including best picture categories.
- Director Park Chan-wook's first major U.S. awards recognition after 20 years.
- Park expresses concern over the state of the Korean film industry's investment.
The Korean film 'No Other Choice' is making waves with three Golden Globe nominations, including nods for best picture in both musical/comedy and non-English language categories, and a best actor nomination for Lee Byung-Hun. Director Park Chan-wook, whose nearly two-decade journey to bring this project to fruition is remarkable, shared his surprise and gratitude for the nominations, particularly the comedy category, which he feels redefines his directorial image.
Park emphasized that Lee Byung-Hun's nomination was the most significant for him, praising the actor's exceptional performance that carries the film. He noted that this recognition is long overdue for Byung-Hun, who has been part of numerous acclaimed projects. Park revealed that the film's transition from an envisioned American project to a Korean one allowed for timely commentary on AI.
Despite this personal success, Park expressed deep concern for the Korean film industry's current state, citing a post-pandemic decline in theater attendance and a subsequent drop in investment. He believes the industry needs to embrace originality and bold storytelling, focusing on unique audience appeal and immersive theatrical experiences rather than conventional projects, to revitalise audience engagement.
