BLU-RAY TWO-DlSC 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 teIls the horrific tale of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), a businessman who is inexplicably kidnapped and imprisoned in a grim hotel room-like ceIl for 15 years, without knowing his captor or the reason for his incarceration. Eventually reIeased, he Iearns of his wife s murder and embarks on a quest for revenge whilst also striking up a romance with a young, attractive sushi chef, Mi-do (Kang Hye-jung). He eventuaIly finds his tormentor, but their final encounter will yieId yet more unimaginabIe horrors...
Directed with immense flair by Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden) as the second instalment of his Vengeance Trilogy, Oldboy 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-Iength documentary OId Days. |
