OLDBOY Playing Midnights this Weekend at The Tivoli

“As I expected, I can’t get along with anyone today either.”

OLDBOY (2003) is a mind-bending revenge tale that ventures into emotional extremes with no chance of the viewer emerging unscathed. Full of grand passions, bloodthirsty violence, and with a wicked sense of jet black humor, OLDBOY is a sadistic masterpiece. The director Park Chan-wook is one among several filmmakers who’ve made South Korean cinema what it is today, and his U.S. debut STOKER is one of the best films so far this year (read my WAMG interview with Park Chan-wook HERE)

OLDBOY has a wild, twisty storyline: after being kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years, Oh Dae-Su (Min-sik Choi) is released, only to find that he must find his captor in 5 days. But that’s just the launching point for a  film that coasts on an epic scale emotionally and rarely slows down to consider the logic of some of its most outrageous plot contortions. Forget about Spike Lee’s upcoming remake, the original OLDBOY requires a viewing at least once by serious moviegoers and you’ll get the chance to take it in on the big screen this weekend when it plays midnights Friday and Saturday (October 18^th and 19^th) at the Tivoli as part of their Reel late at the Tivoli Midnight series.

The Tivoli’s located at 6350 Delmar Blvd., University City, MO. Admission is a mere $8!
