Book tickets

Looking for a job? When a happy family man is dismissed after twenty-five years of loyal service at a paper company, he finds the perfect solution to land his next role: truly eliminate the competition.

One of contemporary cinema’s most audacious stylists, director Park Chan-wook's latest outing, which premiered at Venice Film Festival in the Official Competition, delivers a deft, jet-black satire with humour and strange charm.
