Bong Joon Ho’s brilliant, wickedly entertaining international smash hit, in a supplement packed edition
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 Special Edition Features
- New 4K digital master, approved by director Bong Joon Ho and director of photography Hong Kyung Pyo
- New commentary featuring Bong
- B&W version of the film with a new introduction by Bong
- New interviews with Bong, Hong, production designer Lee Ha Jun, and filmmaker Park Chan Wook
- Master class featuring Bong from the 2019 Lumière Festival
- And more

First off, let's talk about the transfer. The Blu-ray version of "Parasite" is absolutely gorgeous. The film's cinematography is simply stunning, and the transfer captures every detail beautifully. Whether it's the rich colors of the Kim family's home or the stark contrast of the Park family's mansion, every scene is a feast for the eyes. 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. The commentary track is a fascinating look into the mind of director Bong Joon-ho, as he provides insights into his creative process and the themes he wanted to explore. And the interviews with the cast and crew give even more depth to the film's characters and story. Plus, the included booklet is a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes information and essays.
Of course, all of this would be for naught if the film itself wasn't outstanding - but let me assure you, "Parasite" is a true masterpiece. From the brilliant script to the stellar performances from the entire cast, this is a movie that will stay with you long after the credits roll. And with its thought-provoking commentary on class and society, it's a film that is more relevant today than ever before.
Overall, "Parasite" on The Criterion Collection Blu-ray is an absolute must-have for any film lover. With its stunning transfer, insightful special features, and unforgettable story, this is a movie that belongs in everyone's collection. So go ahead and add it to your cart - you won't regret it!

Cons: the only one I have noticed is that you need a blu-ray player for this (but it does work on PS4/PS5)

Yo adquirí las dos ediciones, Blu Ray y DVD, ambas son muy buenas, pero el Blu Ray es mucho más elegante
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.
