p>This is the stylish film that the head of this year's Cannes' jury,
Quentin Tarantino, could not stop raving about. (Considering what
a motor-mouth he already is, you probably wouldn't want to be there.)

Director Park, who made the excellent political drama Joint
Security Area, returns with another intelligent mystery-drama.
The story revolves around a man who was imprisoned for 15 years
without him knowing why.

When he is finally released, he is hell-bent on getting to the
root of the mystery. But the answers he find are nothing short of
bizarre and devastating.

Not only did Old Boy receive Cannes' Grand Jury Prize,
the director was also nominated for the Golden Palm award —
the top prize. The movie won five South Korean Grand Bell Awards
in its home turf last year, and was one of the country's top 10
box-office hits of the year. Simply put, you have to see it.
