Oldboy
Oh Dae-su, who lived with his wife and young daughter, is kidnapped on his way home while drunk. He is locked in a room for 15 years - without windows, without explanation, and without any contact to others. All he has is a TV, Chinese dumplings, and a growing desire for revenge. When he is suddenly freed, Oh Dae-su searches every Chinese restaurant to find the person who imprisoned him. However, what awaited him is not freedom, but a cruel truth entangled with revenge, guilt, and love. Who did this to him? And more importantly, why? The answer is deeply personal and devastating. Oldboy is the second film in Park Chan-wook’s revenge trilogy, a work where his flamboyant style blends perfectly with a dark and poetic vibe. At the time, it was received as shocking and daring, but it has since established itself as a representative film of the 2000s cinema.
