A screening of Park Chan Wook’s adaptation of Donald E Westlake’s 1997 horror thriller The Ax. The South Korean director brings his at times brutal black humour to this story about how modernisation dehumanises and destroys people.

When a happy family man is dismissed after 25 years of loyal service at a paper company, he finds the perfect solution to land his next role: truly eliminate the competition.
