Park Chan Wook: Oldboy

Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) lives his life imprisoned inside a shabby, windowless hotel room, surviving only through his need to get even with the mysterious villain responsible. But when he’s suddenly released without explanation after fifteen years of torment, he finds himself plunged further into a twisting conspiracy – all leading to a truly horrifying end.

The delirious penultimate chapter in Park Chan-wook’s iconic Vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance), Oldboy’s break-neck action and visceral thrills are indelible; often imitated, but never truly replicated.
