The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars, announced on Wednesday the shortlisted films for next year’s Academy Awards to be held in March.

“Decision to Leave” follows police detective Hae-jun, portrayed by Park Hae-il, who begins to fall for a suspect: a Chinese widow named Seo-rae, portrayed by Tang Wei.
