Oldboy

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Dae-Su is an obnoxious drunk bailed from the police station yet again by a friend. However, he's abducted from the street and wakes up in a cell, where he remains for the next 15 years, drugged unconscious when human contact is unavoidable, otherwise with only the television as company. And then, suddenly released, he is invited to track down his jailor with a denouement that is simply stunning.

"Oldboy is a powerful film not because of what it depicts, but because of the depths of the human heart which it strips bare... We are so accustomed to thrillers that exist only as machines for creating diversion that it's a shock to find a movie in which the action, however violent, makes a statement and has a purpose." - Roger Ebert 

"A walk on the wildest of wild sides." - The Guardian 

"Hitchcock and Fincher are reference points, but this combines visceral punch, a tortured humanity and even an underlying Korean political resonance given the weight of the past. Quite an achievement then, and well worthy of its Cannes prize." - TimeOut.com
