![Parasite (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31NA0Dfp9xL.jpg)








A zeitgeist-defining sensation that distilled a global reckoning over class inequality into a tour de force of pop-cinema subversion, Bong Joon Ho’s genre-scrambling black-comic thriller confirms his status as one of the world’s foremost filmmakers. Two families in Seoul—one barely scraping by in a dank semibasement in a low-lying neighborhood, the other living in luxury in a modern architectural marvel overlooking the city—find themselves on a collision course that will lay bare the dark contradictions of capitalism with shocking ferocity. A bravura showcase for its director’s meticulously constructed set pieces, bolstered by a brilliant ensemble cast and stunning production design, Parasite cemented the New Korean Cinema as a full-fledged international force when it swept almost every major prize from Cannes to the Academy Awards, where it made history as the first non-English-language film to win the Oscar for best picture. DIRECTOR-APPROVED TWO-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 4K digital master, approved by director Bong Joon Ho and director of photography Hong Kyung Pyo, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack • New audio commentary featuring Bong and critic Tony Rayns • Black-and-white version of the film with a new introduction by Bong, and Dolby Atmos soundtrack • New conversation between Bong and critic Darcy Paquet • New interviews with Hong, production designer Lee Ha Jun, and editor Yang Jinmo • New program about the New Korean Cinema movement featuring Bong and filmmaker Park Chan Wook (Oldboy) • Cannes Film Festival press conference from 2019 featuring Bong and members of the cast • Master class featuring Bong from the 2019 Lumière Festival in Lyon, France • Storyboard comparison • Trailers • PLUS: An essay by critic Inkoo Kang. Review: Great film - One of my favourite pictures to wstch Review: awesome - We went for the black and white film as it was cheaper, and so pleased we did, as it made the film. I think watching in colour would have distracted from the theme, story and beauty of the film, thoroughly recommend.

We went for the black and white film as it was cheaper, and so pleased we did, as it made the film. I think watching in colour would have distracted from the theme, story and beauty of the film, thoroughly recommend.

Was not expecting that ending
Movies in black and white just make you feel more connected to it, I don't know why. Good story telling, great acting, interesting environments and characters.

This is in my top ten best ever films!
Wonderful Korean (subtitled) film with a great plot and many a twist and turn. Production is top notch, as is the acting.

Must see
This is a great little film. I do love this genre of movie, but that aside, this was a great film full stop. Total escapism for a couple of hours. The ending was also perfect 10 out of 10

A crazy plot
I am left confounded by more questions than answers after watching this film Crazy series of plots with counter plots and incredible acting and creative scripts within the plots to counter impending situations within the theme of the film. I do recommend watching the film, just keep an open ind set and enjoy the pace of the film as it develops and builds into a series of crush-endows. I am certainly compelled to visit S Korea after watching this film, however I would very much like to avoid the less celubrious residential settings.

Me compré esta edición de Criterion, y al mismo tiempo un reproductor de Bluray básico (el LG BP250). Pero no los lee, porque en Europa tenemos zona B, y los discos son zona A. No tenía ni idea de que había zonas, al igual que sucedía con los DVD. Soy primerizo en este formato. Para poder ver discos de cualquier región, he comprado una grabadora/reproductor de Blu-ray Pioneer, que se conecta por USB tanto en Mac como en Windows. Pero necesitas un software de reproducción de Blurays; no viene incluido.

And with the added bonus of the film's impressive sound design, this Blu-ray is truly the ultimate way to experience "Parasite." But what really sets The Criterion Collection release apart are the special features.
