OLDBOY by Park Chan-Wook
Dae-Su (Choi Min-Sik) is kidnapped from the street and locked into a hotel-room for 15 years without any explanation. After 15 years he is being released – also without any explanation. And now he is out for revenge.
Sounds like your standard Hollywood Steven Seagal or Van Damme revenge-thriller?
It’s definitly not!
Instead, it’s a gritty, brutal, violent story about revenge, love, hate and guilt that is unravelled while Dae-Su is first trying to find out WHO imprisoned him, and then WHY. But can he handle the truth?
Warning: Not suited for the queasy ones. Watch when you can handle dental abuse and live octopus eating only!
