Bong Joon-ho’s feature film Okja (released in 2017 by Netflix) will be distributed on 4k Blu-ray Disc by The Criterion Collection starting July 5, 2022.
The 4k disc presentation of Okja was derived from a 4k digital master approved by the director, featuring Dolby Vision color depth and Dolby Atmos immersive audio.
Five years ago, Okja marked the first time Netflix offered Dolby Atmos on the streaming service, which now enhances a large percentage of new 4k content along with Dolby Vision HDR.
The combo release also presents the film on a 1080p Blu-ray Disc that includes bonus features such as a new conversation between Bong and producer Dooho Choi, new interviews with cast and crew, short programs, and more.
The 2-disc edition of Okja from Criterion Collection (with 4k Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray) is priced $34.99 (List: $49/95) on Amazon.
