A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2019)

"Snowpiercer" was very good, "Parasite" is even better! Bong Joon-ho delivers a clever analysis of the class society in which we live today in his ingenious thriller, which is horror film, comedy and drama at the same time. A poor family invades the home of a rich family and starts working for them. But who are the real parasites? The society of the rich is characterized by friendliness and serenity - but it's precisely this habitus that you first have to be able to afford. And it shouldn't fool us about the balance of economic power. We don't see good or bad individuals in "Parasite", rather Bong Joon-ho has created character masks for his characters in order to expose the class relations. Moreover, "Parasite" is a thrilling and aesthetically brilliant movie, in which there isn't a single wrong picture.
