New York Times 8Scott 9

 

[A.O. Scott writing about Spike Lee's remake of the movie "Old Boy" in 2013. The original (2003) was directed by Park Chan-wook, who paid a "stylistic debt to past and present filmmakers, including Stanley Kubrick, Luis Buñuel and David Fincher."]

Mr. Lee, a true original who sometimes wears his influences on his sleeve, is thus in the potentially awkward position of replicating a movie notable for its imitations of other movies.
