'No Other Choice' Mubi Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice, which is shortlisted for the Oscar International Feature category this year, is poised to be the multi Cannes Film Festival-winning filmmaker's biggest box office breakout at the North American office in his 34-year directing career. Already, the dark comedy about a laid-off paper factory manager in Busan, South Korea, who literally begins to "take out" the competition has become Park's highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office with $4.2 million surpassing his cult 2003 hit Oldboy ($2.4M lifetime).
