Starring Actor Choi Min Sik, Legendary Film 'OLDBOY' Screening in Indonesian Cinemas in 4K Format

Kapanlagi.com - 18 years have passed since it was first released and received praise, the film OLDBOY is back in theaters. This thriller, starring actors Choi Min Sik and Yoo Ji Tae, is now available in Indonesia in 4K format.

As we know, the 4K format was only applied in movie theaters starting from 2011. When OLDBOY was re-released and restored using this format, the film's display became more enjoyable to watch.

OLDBOY, directed by Park Chan Wook, tells the story of Oh Dae Su, a man who was imprisoned for 15 years without knowing why. Once free, Dae Su tries to find out the cause.

During its circulation in 2003, OLDBOY became one of the successful South Korean films. With a budget of three million US dollars, it managed to rake in revenues several times over, reaching fifteen million dollars or 210 billion rupiah.
