Park Chan-wook was being talked up as a surprise director nominee back when Decision to Leave won him the directing prize at Cannes. At minimum, the Korean master’s crafty homage to romantic noir felt assured of a nod for best international feature. But the Academy ignored him altogether, missing a chance to give one of the global cinema scene’s most reliably singular auteurs an overdue Oscars moment.

박찬욱은 <헤어질 결심>으로 칸영화제 감독상을 수상하면서 깜짝 감독 후보로 거론됐다. 로맨틱한 느와르에 대한 한국 거장의 교묘한 경의는 국제영화상에 대한 확신을 느끼게 했다. 그러나 아카데미는 그를 완전히 무시했고, 세계 영화계에서 가장 믿을 수 있는 유일한 감독 중 한 명에게 오스카상 순간을 줄 기회를 놓쳤다.





버라이어티

In a year with historic Pan-Asian representation, the decision to shut out “Decision to Leave” altogether is a particularly puzzling one. Park Chan-Wook’s film was not only brilliantly written, directed and acted, but it already enjoyed the precedent of receiving the Palme d’Or and best director at the 2022 Cannes film festival.

국제 영화상의 이변들 중 하나로 꼽음





인디와이어

The past couple years saw the Academy begin to embrace East Asian cinema in a way it never has before. Yes, “Parasite” winning Best Picture and Best Director was the ultimate triumph, but the nominations last year for “Drive My Car” looked like it cemented the region as an Oscars powerhouse. Everything seemed teed up for the Academy to finally recognize Park Chan-Wook in a big way, a filmmaker that has been a favorite of cinephiles across the world since 2003’s “Oldboy,” but has never made anything quite accessible enough for even his home country of South Korea to put in contention for Best International Feature Film. While his neo-noir did finally get that recognition from Korea, coming out of an awardwinning run at Cannes last year, the film may have proven to be too stylized for Oscars voters, and therefore was not nominated at all.

올해의 스넙 중 하나로 꼽음





로저 에버트 닷컴

We’re saving the best, or perhaps the snubbiest, for last. Few films were a staple on more critics’ Best of 2022 lists than Park Chan-Wook’s dazzling neo-noir, which won Best Director at Cannes and earned Chan-Wook a Best Director nomination from BAFTA just last week. After “Parasite” broke the inexplicable barrier that Korean cinema had been facing with the Oscars for their entire history, we collectively thought the shroud had been lifted, and one of the world’s most consistently wonderful cinema hotspots would finally start regularly receiving its Oscar due. But it was not to be this year, and even though “Decision to Leave” had been considered one of the top contenders in the Best International Film race all year, it ultimately proved too smart and elusive to even secure a nomination.
