BLU-RAY TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDITION: OLDBOY + OLD DAYS
Often cited as one of the best films of the 2000s and possibly the definitive example of extreme Asian cinema, OIdboy is a brutaI, Iyrical 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-like ceII for 15 years, without knowing his captor or the reason for his incarceration. EventualIy 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 eventuaIIy 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 trail 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 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, incIuding the feature-Iength documentary OId Days. |
