Story is about a financially struggling but close family where one member gets a job in another, very wealthy family. He then seizes the opportunity and in a short period of time: the whole family now have different jobs in this household. What's so interesting about it? The way it's been told and shown. And how the story itself unfolds.
"Parasite" starts off as an everyday drama with some comical additions/events.The cool thing about it is it changes it's feeling overtime and what starts out as something simple ends in a quite different way.
Now I know. For now I can call Bong Joon Ho my favourite South Korean director (and writer). He has previously made Snowpiercer AND Okja. Thanks for those too.
It's hard to find a good movie nowadays. At least for me it is. Everything basically is a Marvel/DC whatever (not that those might not be good) or a reboot...
This was a good piece of art. So, if you're up for some 2 hour subtitle reading - this one is a film to see.
Rating: ★★★★½
P.S. If this helps: It received Palme d'Or at Cannes this year (that's the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival...if you didn't know. No judgement.). Oscar nomination sure should happen later on.
