20th Anniv. Re-Release of Park Chan-wook's 'Oldboy' Official Trailer

Neon has released an official trailer for Oldboy, the iconic cult classic Korean thriller made by Park Chan-wook. This originally opened in Korea in 2003, then premiered at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. It took a few years to become a cult classic in the US, playing at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival before opening in limited theaters. Neon has re-acquired the film and is giving it a proper restored and remastered re-release this August in theaters nationwide - to celebrate its 20th anniversary. If you have never seen it, you MUST go. It's pretty much a rite of passage for any and every cinephile. After being kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years in a room, Oh Dae-su is released, only to find that he must find his captor in five days. Why did they do this to him? Once you know, you know. Oldboy stars Choi Min-sik, Yoo Ji-tae, and Kang Hye-jeong. This was also remade in 2013 by Spike Lee starring Josh Brolin, but it wasn't that good. This original is the only true Oldboy movie and it's worth watching on the big screen to squirm and scream all over again. Especially when he eats that octopus - so gnarly. What a gorgeous dialogue-free trailer for this masterpiece. // Continue Reading ›
