NO OTHER CHOICE
Park Chan-wook | South Korea | 2025
Park Chan-wook returns with No Other Choice, Golden Globe-nominated and premiered at Venice Film Festival, a razor-sharp thriller that blends moral ambiguity, dark wit, and escalating tension in the director’s signature style. Known for masterfully balancing operatic violence with psychological nuance, Park once again crafts a narrative driven by impossible decisions and the corrosive effects of obsession.
With meticulous visual composition and tonal precision, the film unfolds as a tightly coiled study of consequence—where every choice narrows the path forward. Both intimate and expansive, No Other Choice reinforces Park’s status as one of contemporary cinema’s most daring stylists.

POMPEI: BELOW THE CLOUDS
Gianfranco Rosi | Italy | 2025
From Golden Lion-winning documentarian Gianfranco Rosi comes Pompei: Below the Clouds, which won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, a meditative exploration of the ancient city suspended between preservation and disappearance. Rosi turns his patient, observational lens toward Pompeii’s landscapes and inhabitants—revealing the quiet rhythms that persist beneath the looming shadow of history.
Blending archaeology, daily life, and atmospheric portraiture, the film contemplates time not as spectacle but as accumulation. As volcanic memory hangs in the air, Rosi crafts a work that is both an elegy and a testimony—an immersion in a place where past and present remain in constant dialogue.
