Released in 2003, Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy is often heralded as a cult favorite and masterpiece of Korean cinema. Venturing to emotional extremes with its grim violence and extraordinary sadomasochism, it is a film that is compulsive viewing for anyone with a petulance for gore or a good revenge story. As tense as it is tragic, Jo Yeong-wook’s composition work mirrors the film’s dark beauty—filled with melancholic moments and infectious melodies. Looking for a visual artist to complement the project, Milan Records enlisted the talents of Laurent Durieux, whose captivating, lucid style immaculately captured the overcast essence of the film.

Left to his own devices, Durieux was able to showcase a unique, personal perspective of the film without being constricted by the label or design teams. “Milan hardly had any input in the creation of the poster,” informs Durieux. “They trusted me completely and they knew that it is the way I work,...

I have a question for you, what makes a movie a “Cult Classic”? Well, there is a movie out there that classifies that distinction for you; and that movie is “American Zombie”, it stars Austin Basis (Boxboarders!, Hazard), Roger Ainslie (Decaf), Alice Amter (The Good Girl, Bad Boy, A Man Apart), Kaci Brown (Public Interest, Whispering Waves) and Al Vincente (My Brother Jack, Tangled, Star Maps, Irish Twins).

The plot of this movie is so simple, but yet so realistic. This movie documents the daily lives of a small community of the living deceased who make their home in Los Angeles. Yes that’s right, it shows actual zombies that are alive today and are in our community. It’s a fictitious documentary that makes you ask the question, are there really zombies living among us? I know it sounds really crazy, but let me tell you, it really does make you ask that question.
