5: OLDBOY (Dir: Chan-Wook Park, 2003)

Those who know me are very familiar with my contrary opinions. I often spontaneously dislike things that get lauded simply because I am a very reactionary person. Knowing this, I waited a few weeks to see

Hey, you're back! Good on you! Soldiering through I see. Buried amongst my ranting there is some valuable information I'm sure. Welcome to the second part of my MIFF preview. Didn't expect it to get so long-winded but we have a lot to talk about. My main concern today will be looking at the documentary selections.

I have sat on this review for quite a while. In fact I rewatched this film recently just to make sure I didn't miss something the first time because it saddens me to say this but
Thirst is Chan-wook Park's first real misfire. This is coming from a huge Park fan too.
