\"ticket\"WEDNESDAY 1 JULY, Prince Charles Cinema<\/A>, 8pm <\/B>: OLDBOY<\/I> <\/B> <\/p>\n

In Park Chan-wook’s extraordinary visual assault, a man is kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years without knowing why. When he is finally released from this Kafka-esque nightmare, he is hell-bent on revenge and seeks to uncover his tormentor’s identity. What follows is a twisted cat and mouse game that takes the protagonist and the audience through extremes of emotion, exploring the dark energy of vengeance. Exhilarating, horrifying, blackly humorous and heart-wrenching in equal measure, this is an unmissable masterpiece of cinematic cruelty. Oldboy<\/I> was Park’s breakthrough movie in the UK, cementing his reputation as one of the most original and challenging directors currently making movies in the Far East. <\/p>\n

Next screening: WEDNESDAY 5 AUGUST – Carnival of Souls<\/I>\n<\/div>\n
