Movie Review: 'Decision To Leave' Is A 'seductive' Neonoir Love Story

Comparing Park Chan-wook to Alfred Hitchcock is a lot like comparing Oasis to the Beatles. It is tradition, but if the result is pleasant, who can complain if it is not helpful? Park's "I've decided to leave" is a beautifully decorated situation, you are "struck" by a wonderful new love story.

Park seems to shed light on similar situations: The Obsessed Detective, The Beautiful Lady Killer, Piece of Couture, Parting Wave, Height Phobia... I could go on. But what is most unique about Hitchcock is Park's command of the audience. He knows how to seduce and deceive you, with an attractive image that seduces you and creates a crazy love story that you know from the beginning that is not beautiful for both parties.

With the help of cinematographer Kim Ji-yong, Park plunges you into an ingenious dreamscape where danger and sexuality lurk behind every dark corner. It's lust-inducing, lust-inducing, and never averse to Glouce's occasional touches of humor. It also has some fascinating threads from Tang Wei and Park Hye-il, who play forbidden lovers caught in a tangle of murder, mystery and deceit. Nothing can be trusted in the world of the park, including our loyalties to mysterious characters who seem to change over time.

The most surprising is a young Chinese man named Tang Siu Ray, who luckily won the heart of an immigration official who was eager to present his citizenship papers along with a wedding ring. In the film's hypnotic opening, he is the sugar daddy who is found dead, mutilated and under a long hood. Was it an experienced climber who took a wrong step? Or is it something more serious?

This is to identify Busan's youngest and most respected homicide detective. But is Park Hae-Lee Hye-Joon up to the task due to chronic insomnia? The eyes may be dull, but the other senses are kept sharp. An elderly nurse with a questionable past, who lacks empathy for her husband's recent death, suggests Seo-rae. “The living elders come before the dead,” Hye Joon says politely when asked.

The story continues

However, it's not his heightened sense of guilt that stops him from watching his sleepless competitors 24 hours a day. It's wonderful and wonderful. As Jimmy Stewart surprised Kim Nova in "Vertigo." Now it has become completely personal and ethical. It's bad for him, but it's fun to watch Hye-joon fall into a whirlwind of lust and desire.

The following is standard fare for every noir fan. But co-stars Park and Chung Seo-kyung are adept at creating various distractions, some unrelated to Seo-rae, that will always keep you on your toes. That's a good thing, because the story they've created is confusing if not complex. A magnetic blend of style and convention, you'll lose focus after a serious workout.

To double the fun, Park splits the film in two: the first part in Busan and the second in Ipoh, where the "broken" Hae-joon reluctantly admits that his emotions are his commitment to disability and that he wants to impress. . should Aipo is his broken wife "Weekend" Jung-an (Lee Jung-hyun), who is unaware of her husband's dirty thoughts about Seo-rae. But now that the happy couple is together, things are looking up, aren't they?

Bad - bad - angry! This also serves as a story that begins to delve into creative courage and dignity. But it's another murder that Hye Joon can solve. And guess who the prime suspect is? What are the options? Just communicate. It is at this moment that the exciting visuals of the film come in the most, and the atmosphere always wins over the narration. It is only at the sad conclusion that the full "exit permit" is returned.

The impact is strong, but it doesn't match the raw warmth of Park's last sexually charged film, 2016's "The Maid." However, don't let that affect you. Because this show is less of a park, it's still better than most Hollywood thrillers. And that's reason enough to ignore and completely "many" the senses.
