Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave will be released by MUBI this October.

The streaming company, which has been stepping up its distribution of titles theatrically as well as online, snapped up Decision to Leave ahead of its debut at Cannes this year. The film, which took home the Best Director prize, follows a detective investigating the death of a man who falls fatally from a mountain peak. Hae-joon (Park Hae-il) comes to meet the dead man’s wife Seo-rae (Tang Wei). When she becomes a suspect, Hae-joon finds himself slowly developing an interest in her.

“Park Chan-wook’s psycho-romance is the South Korean master’s most mature work to date,” we wrote in our review.

The film will be released in cinemas by MUBI in the UK, Ireland and USA on 14th October, before going on to stream exclusively on MUBI later this year.

MUBI has picked up the rights to Decision to Leave, the latest from Park Chan-wook.

The streaming company, which has been stepping up its distribution of titles theatrically as well as online, has recently released such titles as The Worst Person in the World, Petite Maman, Annette, Benedetta, Limbo and First Cow. Now, it has made its biggest deal to date for Decision to Leave, ahead of its debut at Cannes next month.

The In Competition title chronicles the aftermath of a man falling from a mountain peak to his death. The detective in charge of the investigation, Hae-joon, falls for his mysterious widow, after she becomes the prime suspect.

Produced by Park’s Moho Film, the film stars Tang Wei (Lust, Caution) and Park Hae-il (The Host).

MUBI will release the film in the UK, Ireland and USA this autumn, before it goes on stream on the platform. MUBI also holds the rights to the film in Turkey and INdia.
