OLDBOY - Behind the Cinematography and Production Design (Making Of Featurette)

Director Park Chan Wook, cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung, and the team behind the production design discuss the choices they made to achieve the look of the film. From the hallway scene and the standoff scene between Dae-Su and Woo-Jin.
Oldboy (Korean: 올드보이; RR: Oldeuboi; MR: Oldŭboi) is a 2003 South Korean neo-noir action thriller film[4][5] directed and co-written by Park Chan-wook. A loose adaptation of the Japanese manga of the same name, the film follows the story of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), who is imprisoned in a cell which resembles a hotel room for 15 years without knowing the identity of his captor nor his captor's motives. When he is finally released, Dae-su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and violence. His own quest for vengeance becomes tied in with romance when he falls in love with an attractive young sushi chef, Mi-do (Kang Hye-jung).
The film won the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and high praise from the president of the jury, director Quentin Tarantino. The film has received widespread acclaim in the United States, with film critic Roger Ebert stating that Oldboy is a "powerful film not because of what it depicts, but because of the depths of the human heart which it strips bare".[6] It also received praise for its action sequences, most notably the single shot corridor fight sequence.[7] It has been regarded as one of the best neo-noir films of all time and listed among the best films of the 2000s in several publications.[8] The film has had two remakes, an unauthorised 2006 Hindi film and a 2013 American film. The film is the second installment of Park's The Vengeance Trilogy, preceded by Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and followed by Lady Vengeance (2005).

Hey everyone, the behind the scenes footage we used to edit this video did not include the name of the woman @3:00. If anyone knows her name, please let us know!

She is Ryu Seong Hee, the production designer

I could watch this film over and over again. Its such a entertaining and thrilling movie about a man hellbent on revenge, and what's more important is we are allowed to see the effects of his 15 year imprisonment, both physically and mentally, and shuver at the thought of how we would react if we were to be stuck in the same room for that length of time. Choi plays Dae-su with such raw power and facial expressions of aggressiveness and determination

Twenty some years ago I was working in a little ski town in Utah. I kept hearing about the Sundance film festival and how busy the town would be. I was working in restaurants at the time. After a week of very long doubles everyday I was walking up main street barely able to make the trek back to the top of the hill to a little old cabin I rented. It was around midnight and naturally very cold out. There was a line queued up to go into one of the movies and I asked if there was any extra tickets. I was advised to wait in line and see what might happen. I didn’t even know the name of the movie I just figured I should see a movie while the festival was in town. I managed to get in and sat down (finally!) and Park Chan-Wook walked out to present the American premier of Old Boy. I really like movies but I wasn’t quite to the obsessive nerd level I’d say I am today. To this day one of my greatest cinematic moments in life. Just an unforgettable experience.

Thank you for this awesome video!

Interesting vid, would you say your channel forgoes all narration entirely? I guess there must be other similar ones that inspired you?

Great question! We’re glad you asked! We’re currently busy with other matters, but we’re working on new ideas and topics that we hope our audience finds engaging!
