Lee Byung-hun's film 'No Other Choice' receives standing ovation at Film Festival... A story told through the numbers '9 Minutes or 23 Minutes'
Park Chan-wook's latest film, 'No Other Choice', garnered a standing ovation lasting nine minutes at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, making headlines. However, just a few days later, the documentary "The Voice of Hind Rajab," screened at the same venue, set a record for the longest standing ovation ever, lasting a remarkable 23 minutes—a quarter of its runtime. It almost seems like a competition to see who can stand for the longest, but the standing ovation at film festivals carries a meaning beyond mere box office success.
