Oldboy (2003) Rerelease (lemmy.world)

Just watched Oldboy for the first time as part of the 20th anniversary remaster. What a wild ride; so much goofier and fun than I expected.

Several years ago I bounced off The Matrix pretty hard (due largely to “Seinfeld is Unfunny” syndrome) so I was worried this had enough cultural footprint to go the same way since I had seen the octopus and hallway fight scenes before; but by no means was that the case.

Somehow I’ve managed all these years to have nothing about the rest of the plot spoiled and that gut punch hit just as hard as I expect it did in 2003.

The brief interview with Park Chan-wook after the credits was nice too.
Definitely worth going for both existing fans and anyone like me who hasn’t seen it

Does anybody know if there’s a plan for a digital or 4K physical re-release?
