The vengeance manga by writer Garon Tsuchiya and artist Nobuaki Minegishi debuted in the late '90s. Director Park Chan-Wook (Snowpiercer) inlaid the myth of Oedipus into the basic bones of the revenge saga, along with his patented blend of beauty and brutality.
Oldboy is visceral, brutal and doesn't hold anything back in this non stop tale of revenge and mystery. It will later be remade for US audience with Josh Brolin as the title role.
