There are 3 audio commentaries to choose from:
1 - Audio commentary with Director Park Chan-wook and Lead Actress Lee Young-ae which is very entertaining to listen to as its a nostalgic look back for both of them. Playing against type, Chan-wook specifically casted Young-ae as the cold, calculating Geum Ja seeking to avenge the 13 years of her youth she lost while falsely imprisoned.
2 - Audio commentary with the Director, Cinematographer and Art director is nice on a technical filmmaking level.
3 - Audio commentary by Richard Pena, Program Director, Film Society of Lincoln Center and Associate Professor of Film, Columbia University is a deconstruction of themes, stylistic elements and whatever 'struck Pena's interest' about the film.
The "Making of Lady Vengeance" featurette is a decent behind the scenes look narrated by the AD of how committed Young-ae was to her character and despite the dark undertone of the film, there was always laughter on set.
The 'Interview with Director Park Chan-wook' is slightly ajarring as in lieu of subtitles there is an interpreter. This causes several things to occur: a) you're not really listening to what the director is saying and b) the flow of thoughts gets disrupted, paraphrased and sometimes improperly translated into English due to the immediacy of the translation. Please also see in the Revenge Trilogy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Oldboy .
There will be a limited 3 disc release of Oldboy also from Tartan coming soon.
