GLASGOW Film Festival is to host the UK premiere black and white version of multi-Oscar winner ‘Parasite’.
Bong Joon Ho’s history-making South Korean social satire - the first foreign language film to ever win Best Picture - will be given a whole new dimension in its black and white edit.
Speaking of his preference of black and white, Bong Joon Ho said: “I think it may be vanity on my part, but when I think of the classics, they’re all in black and white.
“So I had this idea that if I turned my films into black and white then they’d become classics.”

The black and white version of Parasite was made before the original colour edition had its premiere in Cannes.
A lengthy process, Bong Joon Ho and his director of photography and colourist created the new grading shot by shot.
Tickets go on sale at 12pm on Wednesday, 12 February at www.glasgowfilm.org. The screening is at Glasgow Film Festival on Thursday, 5 March at 5.45pm.
Glasgow Film Festival said it is thrilled to be bringing the black and white version to UK audiences for the first time.
