Time does know that the people on the beam in the original picture weren't architects, right?
I mean, these guys don't really resemble the architects either, they're the moneymen. The person they most resemble in the construction of Rockefeller Center is... Rockefeller.

No Other Choice is another strong entry from Park Chan-wook. Not as "extreme" as his early work but more prickly and acidic than Decision to Leave. Does force you to follow a really unlikable and pathetic guy, but it has its reasons.

Being the villain in a cheap mid-90s video game adaptation isn't exactly the most prestigious gig but he managed to really spin gold out of it and come out as kind of an icon in the eyes of a generation.
