Chan-Wook Park’s “Oldboy” comes to us on a wave of expectation, having garnered a series of high profile accolades at film festivals around the world, including the Grand Prix at Cannes and several of the Grand Bell awards in its native South Korea. Add to this almost unanimous acclaim from critics and the high standard set by the director’s preceding films (”J.S.A.” and “Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance”), and “Oldboy” has a hell of a lot to live up to. Incredibly, the film is even better than the hype; it’s a powerful, visceral and intelligent thriller that is undoubtedly one of the best films of recent years, from anywhere in the world.
The plot (based on a manga by Garon Tsuchiya) follows Dae-su Oh (Min-sik Choi, from “Shiri” and “Failan”), an average, if inconsiderate, family man who is grabbed off the street and imprisoned in a room by unseen captors. Fifteen years later he is released, and sets out to discover the reason behind his incarceration and to take revenge on his mysterious enemies. This is all you need to know, believe me. Although there is far more to “Oldboy” than its narrative, to watch the film forearmed with knowledge or clues to where the story is going would be to rob yourself of one of the most gut-wrenching denouements I have ever witnessed.
