New 4K Restoration! Special Twentieth Anniversary Re-release with a special recorded intro by director Park Chan-wook!

August 16-24 only: the 1:15 and 7:00 shows also include a special recorded conversation between director Park Chan-wook and filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) about the making of OLDBOY following the film.

Restored and remastered in stunning 4K, Park Chan-Wook’s
(Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden) influential masterpiece returns to theaters
for the first time in decades, still as shocking as ever. After being
mysteriously kidnapped and imprisoned with no human contact for fifteen years,
Oh Dae-Su (Choi Min-sik) is suddenly released without any explanation. In a
twisted game of cat and mouse, he has only five days to retrace his past, track
down his captors, and get his revenge. 
“A wild, intensely cinematic ride.” 
– Variety “Shakespearean in its violence.” – Wall Street Journal
