Book Introduction

MD's word
[Finally, Decision to Leave] The original screenplay of "Decision to Leave," winner of the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival. Revisit the meticulous and beautiful words and stories contained throughout the film in book form. You will be able to complete your own work by newly reading this film, which will ultimately become your 'unsolved case,' through its text. Hesitation, throw it away. Throw it into the deep sea. - Artistic PD Park Hyung-wook

One of the joys a film script offers is discovering the differences from the final product after filming and editing. 『Decision to Leave Script』 especially richly contains this joy of discovery. For example, the story of "Shanhaijing" that Seo-rae invents herself provides another key to understanding Seo-rae's inner world, and the aftermath of the Jilgodong incident that Hae-jun hears about after leaving for Ipo creates an ominous atmosphere. In this way, even the parts deleted during the editing process enrich the world of [Decision to Leave], allowing readers of this book to imagine their own 'audience's cut'.

Of course, the joy of reconfirming the famous lines from the movie as they are is also great. [Decision to Leave] is a work where this joy of 'confirmation' is particularly special. Seo-rae's Korean dialogue, with its unique atmosphere, holds a special charm even when read in print, and Hae-jun's dialogue also allows for a slow examination of how much effort was put into word choice. Furthermore, the Chinese dialogue is accompanied by its original text, providing an opportunity to delve deeper into its meaning. After reading this script, which faithfully captures both the inside and outside of the film, you will be able to cherish the lingering impression of [Decision to Leave] for even longer.
