Oldboy
Park Chan-wook / KR, 2003 / 120 min.
In this, the second part of a revenge trilogy, a businessman seeks bloody retribution after having been imprisoned for 15 years without knowing why. Park, who loves to shock, created a dark thriller, which won him the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes.
In 2004, South Korean Park Chan-wook (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, The Handmaiden) broke through causing excitement in Cannes and elsewhere. Jury chair Tarantino immediately became a massive fan and presented the Grand Jury Prize to him.
