BLU-RAY TWO-DlSC SPEClAL EDITlON: OLDBOY + OLD DAYS
Often cited as one of the best fiIms of the 2000s and possibIy the definitive exampIe 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-Iike celI 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 will yield yet more unimaginabIe horrors...
Directed with immense fIair by Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden) as the second instalment of his Vengeance Trilogy, Oldboy bIazed a traiI at the 2004 Cannes Film FestivaI where it was lauded by the President of the Jury, director Quentin Tarantino. The fiIm went on to become a huge internationaI smash, blowing audiences minds with its concoction of fiImmaking virtuosity, ingenious pIotting, vioIence and pathos. Now, this masterpiece has been newIy mastered in 4K and is presented here in a two-disc set with a wide array of extras, including the feature-length documentary OId Days. |
