Decision To Leave MUBI blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[titch]

The streaming service MUBI has started to release blu-rays (they released a very nice 4K UHD of Paul Verheoven's Bendetta in the UK last year) and now they have released the latest, astonishing, movie by Park Chan-Wook, Decision To Leave on blu-ray both in the US and the UK. As expected, the film is as far from anything made in Hollywood, as it is possible to imagine and viewers, who go for convoluted stories, full of twists and unexpected directions, will find a really rich story to relish. Definitely a story that will reward repeated viewings! I still consider his previous film, The Handmaiden (2016) to be his masterpiece.

The transfer on the blu-ray wasn't bad but a 4K UHD from the 4K digital intermediate will look more like it does theatrically (a 4K UHD is forthcoming in Germany, but not with English subtitles).

I’ll need to acquire this. Thanks for the suggestion. Presume you’ve seen Stoker.

Yes! He takes his time making movies - can't believe Oldboy is twenty years old!

Nice appreciation in Little White Lies of Stoker, Park Chan-Wook's homage to Hitchcock.

Stoker at 10: Park Chan-wook's Hitchcockian fairytale

This dark coming-of-age thriller is Park's own scintillating twist on The Master of Suspense's Shadow of a Doubt.

And there's this one

Watched the first hour, and found it a bit confusing following the storyline. Possibly because the two women in leads look a bit similar. I’ll continue.

Wish they’d leave films in English, rather than dubbing into some alternative language and flashing writing on the screen.

Strong mx track.
