As I noted last week, the Koreans know what they’re doing when it comes to making movies. Some of the best horror movies I’ve watched in recent years have been either Korean or South American (and Spanish filmmakers are up there, too). Needless to say, I’ve been on a bit of a Korean film kick.
After last week’s review of 2024’s Exhuma, I took Ponty’s advice and watched Oldboy (2003). As Ponty promised, it is one twisted film, but absolutely exquisite. I can see why he dubbed it his “favourite Korean movie.”
