Bong Joon Ho’s Oscar-winning film Parasite is joining the Criterion Collection this October. The 2020 Best Picture winner comes to Criterion Blu-ray and DVD with a host (that one’s for the Bong heads) of new special features including a commentary track with Bong and critic Tony Rayns, new interviews, the black-and-white version of the film, and much more.
The Criterion Collection edition of Parasite is out on October 27, 2020. Pre-orders are available now. Check out the new cover artwork and list of features below. This definitely seems worth the double-dip!
