The Korean neo-noir action thriller Oldboy is not only considered one of the best revenge thrillers of all time, but is also widely regarded as one of the best films of all time. Now Park Chan-wook's cinema classic is headed back to cinemas for its 20th Anniversary. South Africa will release the fully restored and remastered version of the film, now available, 4K simultaneously with the rest of the world on 16 August 2023.

In the film, Oh Dae-Su (Choi Min-sik), an obnoxious drunk abducted on a rainy night in 1988, wakes up in a strange, windowless hotel room. Kept under lock and key for an unknown reason, Oh Dae-Su's invisible captors keep him fed and systematically sedated to avert suicide, providing only a colour television to keep him company. And, after fifteen long years in captivity, perplexed Oh Dae-Su finds himself released. Now, his pitiless abductors encourage Oh Dae-Su to track down the ones behind the mysterious kidnapping and finally get his brutal, longed-for revenge on the unknown tormentor. However, who would hate Oh Dae-Su so much that he would deny him a quick and clean death?
