Collage of two posters for the South Korean film '헤어질 결심'/'Decision to Leave' (2022). Directed by Park Chan-wook. Starring Tang Wei, Park Hae-il, Lee Jung-hyun, Ko Kyung-pyo, Park Yong-woo and Kim Shin-young. On the left the South Korean poster and on the right the US poster. The South Korean poster has a white background with a circle in the middle that has an illustration with images of the film's two main characters. Standing on the foreground at the edge of a storming water a black haired Korean man (Park Hae-il as Jang Hae-jun) wearing a suit. He's also standing on a cliff edge in the background on the left. In the background an illustration of a mountain range, partly covered in clouds. There's a man climbing up the mountain on the left side. In the background behind the mountain range on the top half of the circle the face of a black haired Asian woman (Tang Wei as Song Seo-rae). She's also standing on a cliff edge on the right. On the American poster a black haired Asian man (Park Hae-il as Jang Hae-jun) wearing a grey suit, a white collared shirt and a striped brown and blue tie (on the left) is standing handcuffed to a black haired Asian woman (Tang Wei as Song Seo-rae) wearing a burnt orange collared shirt and a dark skirt (on the right) on top of a butte. There's a chalk outline of a dead body on the ground at their feet. Another butte visible in the background on the right.

Frame from the South Korean film '헤어질 결심'/'Decision to Leave' (2022). Dutch angled shot of a black haired Asian man (Park Hae-il as Jang Hae-jun) wearing a dark suit, a white collared shirt and a striped brown and blue tie is standing in an empty swimming pool facing the camera with his hands together in front of him. There's an Asian woman (Kim Shin-young as Yeon-su) with short black hair wearing a green jacket, a blue shirt and black trousers standing in the background at the edge of the pool on the right side of the man. There's a couple of trees on the side of the pool as well and decking on the right.
Doubt I would've appreciated Park Chan-wook's #DecisionToLove more even if I wasn't privy to Joint Security Area, The Handmaiden or one of my all-time fav films Oldboy. Visually there's admittedly some interesting things but storywise unfortunately not so much as far as I'm concerned. #헤어질결심 📽️🎞️
