Parasite
2019 · Bong Joon-ho · 132 min · Thriller / Drama
Parasite earned its place as the first non-English language film to win Best Picture, and it did it by being the kind of movie that works on every level at once. It's funny until it isn't, warm until it turns cold, and so precisely constructed that every frame is doing something purposeful. A small handful of viewers find the final act too sharp a turn, but the vast majority walk away stunned. This is a film that rewards conversation, rewards rewatching, and refuses to leave your head after the credits roll.
