In the intricate and seductive Decision To Leave, unfulfilled passion is the crime
Seo-rae’s impenetrable air is augmented by Park’s ingenious use of technology to show how smartphones can create distance as much as they can bring people together. She often uses Google translate to communicate with Hae-joon, adding a layer of disconnect between them. Later, a phone app is used to devastating effect, leaving Hae-joon shattered.
After Seo-rae is ruled out as a suspect, the pair continue seeing each other, often at his Busan home which contains an entire wall filled with cold case photos. It’s a monument to Hae-joon’s tireless urge to achieve closure and his obsession with Seo-rae is predicated on the idea that she is a mystery he cannot solve. As for Seo-rae, she sees Hae-joon as her protector, someone who will “treat me as you will, as you always did … like a suspect.
Working at high levels of craft and with the delicacy of a watchmaker, Park spins an intricate web where everything has its place, even seemingly unrelated moments like the well-staged rooftop chase and the tasty, if not authentic, Chinese food that Hae-joon prepares for Seo-rae. The drawback of Park and Jeong Seo-kyeong’s dense and twisty script is that its tragic ending works on an intellectual, puzzle-solving level more than an emotional one.
