From the quiet despair of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), through the shocking twists of the Cannes Grand Prix-winning Oldboy (2003), to the haunting elegance of Lady Vengeance (2005), each film offers a gripping tale of moral complexity, human suffering, and the high price of retribution. Presented together for a rare screening event, these films are not only cornerstones of modern Korean cinema but also bold, unforgettable meditations on the thin line between justice and vengeance.

Oldboy | 2003 | 18 | 2h After being inexplicably imprisoned for 15 years, Oh Dae-su is suddenly released with no explanation.
