Park Chan Wook Pins and Buttons
Description: Too intricate and too full of strange imagery to recount in detail, the plot of “Oldboy” takes Dae-su and Mido on a treasure hunt for his enemy that only gets weirder and more violent as the movie progresses. Dae-su finds the building where he was imprisoned by trying the fried dumplings at every Chinese restaurant with the words “Blue Dragon” in the name. (His clue was a scrap of a takeout menu he found in one of his meals.) He reunites with Joo-hwan and comes to suspect Mido, only to trust her again after his enemy reveals himself.

Description: Oldboy is a 2003 South Korean neo-noir action thriller film co-written by Park Chan-wook, Hwang Jo-yun, Lim Jun-hyung and directed by Park Chan-wook. It is loosely based on the Japanese manga of the same name. Oldboy is the second installment of The Vengeance Trilogy, preceded by Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and followed by Lady Vengeance. The film follows the story of Oh Dae-su, who is imprisoned in a cell which resembles a hotel room for 15 years without knowing the identity of his captor or his captor's motives. When he is finally released, Dae-su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and violence. His own quest for vengeance becomes tied in with romance when he falls in love with an attractive young sushi chef, Mi-do.
