“Oldboy ★★★★ 2003(R). Winner of the 2004 Cannes Grand Jury Award, this Korean thriller takes the emotionally charged terror of a David Fincher film and multiples it by a factor of ten. After a drunken evening, Oh Dae-su (Choi, in a brilliant performance) awakens to find himself trapped inside a small room, barred from escape by a thick steel door. Oh spends the next fifteen years in captivity, with no explanation ever offered from his jailers. With no warning, Oh—now half crazy from isolation and his thirst for vengeance—is suddenly freed and a mysterious figure gives him five days to figure out why he's been imprisoned. Park should be applauded for his vicious, unflinching insight into human sexuality and violence in this sad, surrealistic mystery. 120m/C DVD. KN Mink-sik Choi, Yu Ji-tae, Hye-jeong Kang; D: Park Chan-wook; W: Park Chan-wook, Hwang Joyun, Lim Jun-hyeong; C: Jeong-hun Jeong; M: Yeong-wook Jo, Shim Hyeon-jeong, Lee Ji-su, Choi Sung-hyeon.”
