Minari - May 24th 2021

Another of the Oscar contenders will be released on Blu-ray by Altitude next month - the same month as the US and Australian Blu-rays, although it's unclear whether this will have the commentary, deleted scenes and making of from the Lionsgate release (other Altitude releases of A24 films like Moonlight, The Florida Project did retain those extras.)

Steven Yeun stars in this American drama written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung. Set in the 1980s, South Korean man Jacob (Yeun) moves his young family to a remote plot of land in rural Arkansas that he dreams of turning into a successful vegetable garden and farm. However, as they struggle with the demands of their new life and raising their two American-born children, his wife Monica (Yeri Han) sends for her mother (Youn Yuh-jung) from Korea to help raise the children. Her unorthodox manner is at odds with her grandchildren and their expectation of what a grandmother should be, especially young boy David (Alan Kim). Meanwhile, Jacob and Monica deliberate over how best to achieve their dreams.

Although this was a virtual cinema/VOD release by Altitude, ODEON has it marked on their release calendar for May 17th in cinemas, so if you want to see it on the big screen you might have a chance.
