Join legendary director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden, Decision to Leave) in person as we honor him with Miami Film Festival’s Precious Gem Master Award at our Opening Night screening of his latest satirical masterpiece, No Other Choice.
With shades of Parasite, Director Park tackles corporate ruthlessness and economic desperation with a new modern classic. Based on Donald E. Westlake's novel The Ax, the story follows Man-su on his desperate hunt for a new job after his abrupt layoff from the paper company he served for 25 years. With limited job opportunities in the industry and with bills mounting, Man-su will go to violent lengths to make ends meet.
Winner of the inaugural International People’s Choice Award at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, this pitch-black comedy will shock you in ways only Chan-wook can.
Expected guests
Opening Night reception starts at 6:00 PM. The screening of "No Other Choice" starts at 8:00 PM.
Get in the GEMS spirit with a pre-party on the lawn at Koubek Center. Drinks and food will be supplied by Mexica Tequila, La Tropical Cerveceria, Divieto, Fogo de Chão, Santo Dulce! Churros, Paella y Ole, CrepeMaker, and Mariquitas Chips.
