Park Chan-wook’s jaw-dropping instant classic is one of the most daring and unforgettable revenge thrillers ever made. After being held in captivity by an unseen tormentor for fifteen years, businessman Oh Dae-su is mysteriously released…only to find that his nightmare is far from over. Swinging between operatic surrealism and gut-punching brutality, Oldboy goes deliriously, dementedly over-the-top and never looks back.  

This monthly series brings a prominent artistic or cultural figure to BAM to discuss the film that inspired their passion for cinema, followed by a screening of the film.

Inspired by the Screen Epiphanies series at London's BFI Southbank
