The National Film Library It was the house of Mubifest last weekend, which began and ended with oriental films.
Yesterday afternoon, the capital’s moviegoers gathered at the building located in the Xoco neighborhood to see the last two functions of the festival, the screenings of the Korean Old Boy in 4K format.
This cult film, directed by Park Chan Wook, reached worldwide popularity before South Korean culture gained great relevance for its dramas or the Kpop.
With an aggressive plot, and full of twists, Old Boy It has established itself as one of the most popular titles in that country in terms of the genre of suspense, action and elements of exploitation cinema, which leaves both fans and outsiders astonished.
Made in 2003, Wook presents the story of Dae-Su, an ordinary citizen who, for no reason at all, is kidnapped for 15 years and confined to a room with a television.
After this time, in his cell, the protagonist has become wild and has trained his body because if one day he is released, he hopes to get revenge. Finally, He is confronted with the outside world in a suit, a large sum of money and a cell phone, so that his captor offers him five days to achieve his goal.
Park Chan Wook, its director, recently had his film The Decision to Leave nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film, a category it did not win, but its entire cinematography reflects a great versatility in addressing different themes in different genres.
Old Boy It has an American version of the same name, starring Josh Brolin.
This is the second time that the event has been held Mubifest in Mexico and its demand is very bigbecause when the dates are announced, the places sell out immediately.
