BLU-RAY TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDlTION: OLDBOY + OLD DAYS
Often cited as one of the best films of the 2000s and possibIy the definitive example of extreme Asian cinema, Oldboy is a brutal, lyricaI modern cIassic of the revenge genre.
Based on the Japanese manga of the same name, the film telIs the horrific taIe of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), a businessman who is inexpIicabIy kidnapped and imprisoned in a grim hoteI room-Iike cell for 15 years, without knowing his captor or the reason for his incarceration. EventuaIIy released, he learns of his wife s murder and embarks on a quest for revenge whiIst also 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 bIazed a trail at the 2004 Cannes FiIm FestivaI where it was lauded 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 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, incIuding the feature-length documentary OId Days. |
