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.

Young boy vs. Oldboy. Hey, that could be the title to a sequel.

Got to see/have it in hand to make a final verdict but I like the steel and slips from what I've seen so far...

Still nowhere to be found on their website... Weird.

I know this one receives quite a bit of hate, but I honestly can't stop looking at my copy.

Thanks ! but i meant on the international site

So it's sold out on the international website but available on the national website?

I only grabbed the purple slip, but I'm in complete agreement. I think the steelbook itself could've been a bit more vivid, but otherwise it is a nearly flawless package all-round (IMO, of course).

So it would seem, though it's odd that they pulled the listings completely from the international page. You wouldn't even know they existed, which is odd for such a flagship title. Perhaps it had something to do with the perceived backlash from international customers about various issues with the release (no box-set, subtitle support, etc.).

Either way, I suspect it'll make its way back onto the international site sooner or later. PA just bounced a bit of stock o a number of titles (Melancholia, ISTD, ZDT) onto the international site a few days ago. I wouldn't be surprised to see Oldboy again after the dust settles.

That's my only minor complaint too... I hate to think how dull it would've looked if it were matte rather than gloss. It's still a cracking looking steelbook though IMO, and easily the best edition of Oldboy out there!
