Overview
Park Chan-wook's modern classic Oldboy returns as a brand new 4K restoration. One drunken night, average businessman Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) is kidnapped and imprisoned in a shabby cell without explanation. With television as his only window to the world, he watches fifteen years go by as he trains his body for revenge. When he is suddenly released in a field with money, a cellphone and a nice suit, he sets out on a violent quest to find some explanation for his suffering and to punish those responsible. As Oh Dae-su digs deeper, he realises his kidnapper has set him on a path of even greater torment.
Why You Should See This Film
One of the defining films of South Korean cinema, Oldboy is a visceral revenge thriller that revels in the essence and experience of life before descending into the depths of hatred and depravity. In the film that solidified his status as one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, Park Chan-wook’s form is playful and invigorating in tandem with a totally unhinged, transformative performance by Choi Min-sik. Brace yourself for mind games, mystery and misery in this essential work of extreme cinema.
