OLDBOY 올드보이
"Revenge is good for your health, but pain will find you again."
Released in 2003, Park Chan-wook's visceral, breakthrough hit Oldboy hit audiences like a hammer. It's a haunting masterpiece that stays with you long after the credits roll.
As the second installment in Chan-Wook's "Vengeance" trilogy, the grotesquely comedic Oldboy tears through the confines of its genre and is just one of South Korea's many great cinematic achievements.
Its vicious violence is just as much of a shock as the heart-wrenching storyline is, which keeps you gripped around every twist and turn. The whole experience is further enhanced when matched with Chan-Wook's signature grungy cinematography, which combines arthouse, mainstream, and cult direction.
The Oldboy T-Shirt includes original illustrations, and the use of line and movement captures the film's raw energy alongside core messages from the film.
