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: Son discos Zona A, cuidado si vives en España - 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. Review: Excellent - I bought this without seeing it, just going by the reviews. An expensive risk, granted. I found the first half quite slow to be honest, but was I ever glad I stuck with it. The second half of this movie exploded in a way I was least expecting and had me fixed to my seat until the end. This is a very good movie. The packaging is what you would expect from criterion. The picture was great. Very happy with this purchase. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,104 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray, Subtitled | | Genre | Action & Adventure/Thrillers | | Language | Korean | | Manufacturer | The Criterion Collection | | Number of discs | 2 | | UPC | 715515252614 | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray, Subtitled - **Genre:** Action & Adventure/Thrillers - **Language:** Korean - **Manufacturer:** The Criterion Collection - **Number of discs:** 2 ## Images ![Parasite (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Sw1SmxoEL.jpg) ![Parasite (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fccUGs-2L.jpg) ![Parasite (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u6cxqbXXL.jpg) ![Parasite (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YVZ0KmURL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Son discos Zona A, cuidado si vives en España *by A***M on 24 November 2020* Me compré esta edición de Criterion, y al mismo tiempo un reproductor de Bluray básico (el LG BP250).

An expensive risk, granted. I found the first half quite slow to be honest, but was I ever glad I stuck with it. The second half of this movie exploded in a way I was least expecting and had me fixed to my seat until the end. This is a very good movie. The packaging is what you would expect from criterion. The picture was great. Very happy with this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best version *by S***B on 18 March 2026* The packaging is stunning. Parasite is a Bong Joon Ho masterpiece and as sublime as Memories of Murder. Black and White version is included here too. Highest possible recommendation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Parasite (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Memories of Murder (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - No Country for Old Men (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/230433200-parasite-the-criterion-collection-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/230433200-parasite-the-criterion-collection-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
