Oldboy is undoubtedly one of the greatest films ever made and at this point I have run out of superlatives to describe Park Chan-wook’s magnum opus. As I found when I explored Decision to Leave, Park Chan-wook is an immense visual storyteller and his films are packed to the brim with detail. Here I wanted to explore the cinematic language of Oldboy, as when you’re able to understand this language I believe you can gain an even greater appreciation for this masterpiece.

I really hope you enjoy and thank you as always. I am humbled and grateful to anyone who takes time out of their day to watch my videos ☺️
