THE ELECTRIC SHEEP FILM CLUBEvery first Wednesday of the month, Prince Charles Cinema, 8pm. WEDNESDAY 1 JULY, Prince Charles Cinema, 8pm : OLDBOY In Park Chan wook’s extraordinary visual assault, a man is kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years without knowing why. When he is finally released from this Kafka-esque nightmare, he is hell-bent on revenge and seeks to uncover his tormentor’s identity. What follows is a twisted cat and mouse game that takes the protagonist and the audience through extremes of emotion, exploring the dark energy of vengeance. Exhilarating, horrifying, blackly humorous and heart-wrenching in equal measure, this is an unmissable masterpiece of cinematic cruelty. Oldboy was Park’s breakthrough movie in the UK, cementing his reputation as one of the most original and challenging directors currently making movies in the Far East. The film will be followed by an informal discussion with Electric Sheep writers in the bar. Price: £5/£3.50 Prince Charles members Certificate 18 Dir: Park Chan-wook, South Korea 2003 With thanks to Palisades Tartan
