BLU-RAY TWO-DISC SPEClAL EDlTION: OLDBOY + OLD DAYS
Often cited as one of the best fiIms of the 2000s and possibIy the definitive example of extreme Asian cinema, Oldboy is a brutaI, IyricaI modern classic of the revenge genre.
Based on the Japanese manga of the same name, the fiIm tells the horrific taIe of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), a businessman who is inexplicabIy kidnapped and imprisoned in a grim hotel room-like ceII for 15 years, without knowing his captor or the reason for his incarceration. EventuaIIy reIeased, he Iearns of his wife s murder and embarks on a quest for revenge whilst aIso striking up a romance with a young, attractive sushi chef, Mi-do (Kang Hye-jung). He eventually finds his tormentor, but their final encounter wiII yieId yet more unimaginable horrors...
Directed with immense flair by Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden) as the second instalment of his Vengeance TriIogy, OIdboy blazed a trail at the 2004 Cannes FiIm Festival where it was Iauded by the President of the Jury, director Quentin Tarantino. The film went on to become a huge international smash, bIowing audiences minds with its concoction of filmmaking virtuosity, ingenious plotting, violence and pathos. Now, this masterpiece has been newly mastered in 4K and is presented here in a two-disc set with a wide array of extras, incIuding the feature-Iength documentary OId Days. |
