Park Chan-wook’s 2003 masterpiece “Oldboy” is a film that refuses to be ignored. It’s an intense, mesmerizing, and twisted work of art that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who watches it.
The movie follows the story of Oh Dae-su, a man who is imprisoned for 15 years without any apparent reason. Upon his sudden release, he sets out on a mission to find out who imprisoned him and why.
