‘The Autobiography of Oldboy’ (included in a three-disc ultimate collector’s edition) is a single, lengthy (three-and-a-half-hour) production diary of Park Chan-wook’s master class in revenge thrillers that is transfixing not only for the craft that was explored every day, but also for the similarities and differences a film crew goes about its business on location and in studio compared to a Hollywood A-list production. It unfolds in chronological order with no commentary or explanation, just a voyeur’s view of how the film was crafted and sometimes improvised. Thanks to Suresh Being for the tip.
I am involved in the remake as much as I would want the original filmmaker involved in a remake I would do myself. In other words, I’m not involved at all. For a foreign film to approach an American audience in its subtitled form, I know there are limitations. So, with this new ‘Oldboy,’ which is in English, I hope it is introduced to a great number of new people through a new interpretation of this story. –Park Chan-wook

One of the greats, and maybe the biggest reason along with Bong Joon Ho why I ended up in South Korea
