Oldboy

too long ago I saw this, was good to rewatch.


Second in the vengeance trilogy by Park Chan-Wook.


Man gets freed after being jailed for 15 years by a stranger; he has 5 days to find him. Stranger turns out to be an old class-mate. Protagonist spread a rumour that he got his sister pregnant, and she killed herself. Through hypnotism, the man falls in love with a girl who helps him, but who turns out to be his daughter. The monster will never get salvation.


Also, great score.
