‘Decision to break up’, which was invited to the competition section of the Cannes Film Festival, received the highest rating in the country, even talking about the Palme d’Or.

From the desperate revenge of a man who has been imprisoned for 15 years, to the story of a priest who became a vampire falling.
Park Chan-wook’s film, which marks the 30th anniversary of his debut this year, is followed by the saying that it is an unconventional work.
However, in this movie, the director’s ‘change of mind’, which focused on romance instead of high-level scenes, aroused curiosity.

As of today (25th), when about half of the twenty-one films that entered the competition were released, according to Cannes News, 11 critics around the world gave the highest score to ‘decision to break up’.
[박찬욱/감독 : 늘 해온 이야기의 연장선에 있고요, 로맨틱 코미디라는 면에서… 창작자 입장에서는 전 작품들과 다르다는 말은 참 반갑습니다.]
I want to make the audience nervous with unfamiliar moments in a familiar story.
[박찬욱/감독 : 디테일에서 항상 이상한 것을 추구하고, 긴장하게 만들고, 몰입하게 만들고, 음미하게 만드는 것. 그것이 제가 목표하는 겁니다.]
In this film, too, he presented a dignified, well-groomed, non-criminal detective.
[박해일/배우 : 가장 중요하게 참고할 만한 캐릭터는 박찬욱 감독님이었습니다. 한국에서 가장 신사적인 감독이 아닌가…]
Acting in Korean was a big challenge for Tang Wei, who played a suspect who was not like the dead man’s wife.
[탕웨이/배우 : 박해일 씨와 감독님이 얘기를 나눌 때면 ‘정말 부럽다. 나도 감독과 저렇게 소통하고 싶다’ 생각했어요. 너무너무 (한국어) 하고 싶어요.]
Moments in which a familiar, unfamiliar language slides are also considered the best part of the movie, and after deciding to appear in the film, he confessed that he studied Korean every day.
[탕웨이/배우 : 감독님과 배우님이 한국어 대사 녹음을 해주셔서 매일 밤 자기 전 베개 옆에 두고 틀어놓고 잤어요. 두 분의 목소리를 듣는 순간은 항상 행복했습니다.]
