I know Criterion isn’t exclusively the “classic old movies finally done right on disc” label, but that’s what I normally associate them with. But [the Criterion Collection release of _Parasite_](https://www.criterion.com/films/30619-parasite) comes less than a year after the film’s official release date in IMDb. Is that the fastest release-to-Criterion ever? ---

_Blue Is the Warmest Color_ had its theatrical release in October 2013 and was released by Criterion in February 2014. ---
