Man-soo has it all: a loving wife and kids, the beautiful woodland house where he grew up, two exceptional dogs. Then, after 25 years at Solar Paper, he’s given the axe. Desperate to retain his lifestyle through a new position at Moon Paper, he hatches a diabolical scheme to despatch his rivals. Park Chan-wook (Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden, Oldboy) transplants The Ax, a 1997 crime thriller by Donald E. Westlake, to present-day South Korea. A chillingly elegant state-of-the-nation story satirises workplace politics and cutthroat status-seeking, mixing wickedly absurd set pieces with a poignant sense of the true awfulness of it all.
