Love Hurts
A Pre-Valentine Experience That Will Leave You Breathless

At 6.00pm

OLDBOY

“Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.”

This Valentine’s Day weekend, we’re offering something different. While others are watching predictable romances, join us for Park Chan-wook’s masterpiece – a film about obsession, revenge, and the darkest corners of the human heart.

Why OLDBOY for Valentine’s?

Because real love stories aren’t always pretty. They’re messy, complicated, and sometimes devastating. Park Chan-wook’s visceral thriller follows Oh Dae-su, imprisoned for 15 years without knowing why, then suddenly released into a world that’s moved on without him. What follows is a journey through vengeance that becomes something far more complex – and disturbing.

This isn’t your typical date movie, but it’s unforgettable cinema. From that legendary corridor fight scene (filmed in one continuous take) to a finale that will leave you speechless, OLDBOY is filmmaking at its most audacious. It’s beautiful, brutal, and absolutely brilliant.

Choi Min-sik delivers a powerhouse performance that anchors every twisted revelation, while Park Chan-wook’s direction turns violence into poetry and revenge into art. This is the film that put Korean cinema on the world map and redefined what thriller cinema could be.

Perfect for couples who like their romance with a side of psychological complexity, or anyone who wants to experience one of the 21st century’s genuine masterpieces on the big screen.

Warning: This Valentine’s will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Book now – some love stories are worth the pain…

p.s. I may be positioning this film as a Valentine movie with tongue firmly in cheek. You have been warned 😉
