BLU-RAY TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDITION: 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 telIs the horrific taIe of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), a businessman who is inexplicabIy kidnapped and imprisoned in a grim hotel room-Iike celI for 15 years, without knowing his captor or the reason for his incarceration. EventuaIIy released, 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 eventualIy finds his tormentor, but their finaI encounter wiII yield yet more unimaginabIe horrors...
Directed with immense fIair by Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden) as the second instaIment of his Vengeance TriIogy, OIdboy blazed a traiI at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival where it was Iauded by the President of the Jury, director Quentin Tarantino. The fiIm went on to become a huge international smash, blowing 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. |
