Oldboy
Park’s wilfully grotesque fable about an abductee trying to fathom the mysteries of his past.
Thriller 2003 120 mins
Director: Park Chan-wook
Overview
Dae-Su, a troubled drunk, is abducted and imprisoned over the course of 15 years, with only a TV for company. Upon his sudden release, he begins a violent journey to discover who his captor was. A winner at Cannes and a cult classic that solidified Park as one of Korea's finest directors, Oldboy's mix of ultraviolence and a puzzle-box plot has become a touchstone for a generation of filmmakers.
