Overview

Office is a 2015 South Korean thriller that delves into the toxic pressures of a cutthroat corporate culture. Centered on a detective investigating a murderer within a company, the film unflinchingly portrays office life as a breeding ground for mental breakdown and violence. Its public label 'Leans Progressive' stems from a strong critique of workplace exploitation and the resulting psychological decay. The film avoids direct engagement with LGBTQ themes, gender swaps, or racial recasting, keeping its attention on the corrosive effects of business environments rather than social issues. This creates a pointed commentary within a familiar thriller setting.
