Park Chan-wook’s international breakthrough, OLDBOY returns to cinema screens in a newly remastered digital version thanks to Neon.

In a twisted game of cat and mouse, he has only five days to retrace his past, track down his captors, and get his revenge.
“A lurid, complex, introspective beast, enacting astonishing cruelty on its protagonist like a slow-acting poison.” – Kambole Campbell, Little White Lies
