Oldboy (Chan-wook Park 2003)

No wonder Park won the Grand Prize of the Jury at Cannes 2004, a jury led by Tarantino. Oldboy is stylish, violent, cool, hip, and much better than Kill Bill (which shows what i thought of Kill Bill). But it is difficult for something that is cool and hip to endure and for its essence to break through that surface, if such essence did in fact exist. Oldboy was good fun, very well made fun, but that’s all it will be remembered for.
