Thrilling masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2020)

Winner of four Oscars, Palme d'Or 2019 and Best Foreign Motion Picture at the Golden Globes, Parasite boldly attempts satire about Seoul's haves and have-nots.
The South Korean film won Best Picture, Best Director, Best International Feature Film and Best Original Screenplay. It has also made cinema history by becoming the first foreign language film to win Best Picture
Parasite is a scabrous black comedy-slash-farce that resonates beyond its generic limits - a movie about status envy, aspiration, materialism, the patriarchal family unit and the idea of having (or leasing) servants.
