Old Boy
Dir: Park Chan-wook
South Korea, 2003, 120minmins, DCP
Cast: Choi Min-sik, Yoo Ji-tae, Kang Hye-jung
When is a prison not a prison? Park Chan-wook’s violent and twisting tale situates its hero in confinement where he is not aware of the crime nor punishment so much as the separation, the exile. Yet, when no longer surrounded by comfortable walls is he still surrounded and imprisoned by deceptions, lies and secrets with mortal cost? And does freedom finally come for him and for those who torment with memory or forgetting, death or life?
