SPOILERS:
I don't know if there is an actual answer, but who do yall think the shadow is? I feel like it could be The Monster, someone that was always present yet hidden within Oh Dae-Su.
Or it could be the guy that kidnapped him?
Either way, it's growing on me so much. Can't wait to frame it. Hate seeing so many of these for sale.

Me too. Lee Woo Jin, always there, always listening, hearing everything that happens. No doubt, that's my very first thought when I saw the shadow.MickyWinz wrote:I think it has to be Lee Woo Jin.

Is the wall warn out from him punching it? (middle-right side of print)
I agree. This is the jam. I was introduced into the greatness of Oldboy through EB, and this poster lives up to that great movie, imo.badlieut wrote:I think it's a nice juxtaposition between how insane the film is and how serene the print is. It's a pretty good representation of the film I think. It fools you on the surface with the warm colors but below is something much darker, just hinted at, in the print.
I give huge props to Durieux for this image. Without giving away any spoilers, he goes right after the most monstrous, grotesque plot twist in the movie, perpetrated on Oh Dae-su. Yet the poster is pretty. The poster also somehow also looks bigger than 24 x 36. I'm not sure if it's the red paper it was printed on or what...

I agree with a lot of these comments. He could have taken the easy way out and made a really nice poster centered around the torture or fight scenes. However, he went straight for the sickening gut punch and managed to keep it subtle, beautiful, haunting and menacing. Outstanding work.

Piece is completely drymounted up, in the best way possible. Absolutely love it.

An incredible piece laced with a ton of subtle imagery from the film. One of Durieux's best.
