I have seen these movies many times on DVD; been expecting a blu-ray release for a long time. This alone makes it most welcome. It includes both movies and a lot of interesting extras, mostly interviews. The differents segments are intendedly heterogeneous, which is good, so that they are very variable: in my opinion, "Memories" and "Dumplings" are at the very top (funny, the first ones in each movie), being little masterworks on their own. "Going home" is also excellent, really heartbreaking, with wonderful photography by Christopher Doyle. Other segments are fine, except for "Cut", which is a surprise, as it is written and directed by Park Chang-wook, but is, in my opinion, so pretentious and talkative that it is ultimately dull and boring. The only bad one in the lot, though. About the restoration: well, it is a bit of a disappointment. The image quality is very heterogeneous from segment to segment, as is, I assume, the original source...which must have been very limited. In general, delineation is too soft, not enough detail, especially in the first movie. "Memories", my favourite segment, happens to be the worst, just too blurry, unsharpened, faint. This said, this is the best these movies have ever looked, and probably will unless access to the original negatives is granted. And, of course, they are so good that they are positively worth getting.

Bought these on a whim years ago on bluray and was obsessed. These restores and sooooo good and the extras are amazing. Worth every penny
