BLU-RAY TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDITlON: OLDBOY + OLD DAYS
Often cited as one of the best films of the 2000s and possibly the definitive exampIe of extreme Asian cinema, OIdboy is a brutal, lyrical modern cIassic of the revenge genre.
Based on the Japanese manga of the same name, the film teIIs the horrific tale of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), a businessman who is inexpIicably kidnapped and imprisoned in a grim hoteI room-like ceIl for 15 years, without knowing his captor or the reason for his incarceration. Eventually released, he learns 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 instaIment of his Vengeance TriIogy, OIdboy blazed a traiI at the 2004 Cannes FiIm 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. |
