Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.

I know buddy... think I'll probably get the keep case edition as well as the steelbook though.

The documentary will support English subtitles, but other special features will not.

 

[StifflersDad]

Great! All this delay for special features that we will not be able to enjoy. Well done PA

 

[Ranavalone]

So, e.g., all six commentary tracks will be inaccessible for those of us not fluent in Korean. What a waste

Well, I guess the UK release already has three of the commentary tracks

 

[DJHilalo]

Flippin' super excited about this release ever since PlainArchive came into existence.... can't wait for the super duper purple boxset (just like the Korean DVD LE, hope and pray they do something unique like that)....

 

[AlexMacOl]

At least the steelbook is not this month! Thanks God! My wallet needs a break!

I have never seen this movie.

Like many movies with an unexpected and unique twist once you have seen it there is often little enthusiasm for watching it again ( no matter how good the movie)

Min-sik Choi's performance alone makes it worth a rewatch in my book!

Have watched it numerous times and have several DVD and Blu-Ray copies of it now, and eagerly awaiting adding the SB and possibly the Keep Case edition as well!!

 

[dufresne]

I want them all, all, all editions.
The film worth. Possibly this in my top.
Old Boy + Plain Archive = Perfect Partners

Throwing my hat in as someone who has also never seen this. But have held off watching it since I found out about this release.

Maybe if you only enjoy movies for their twists. I've seen it many times and love it for the directing, score, cinematography, acting, story, etc.
