Abstract

The article focuses on Park Chan-wook's film "Oldboy," exploring its blend of philosophical depth and intense action, along with its stylistic innovations and thematic richness centered on the concept of revenge. Park discusses the film's narrative complexities, the influence of international cinema on his directing style, and its reception amidst South Korea's vibrant film industry resurgence following political changes in the early 1990s.
