Parasite

[echt]

Anyone seen this? I only just caught up with it after it's been on for months (at admittedly niche cinemas, though its retention for such a long time shows how popular it is)

Funny, suspenseful, near-tragic and dramatic. Amazing. I didn't look at my watch once in nearly two and a quarter hours.

This is the second Korean film I've ever watched, the other was "Snowpiercer" and as I've just discovered, by the same director, Bong Joon-Ho. Both films fabulous, couldn't be more different.

I'm definitely going back to see it again.

Loved it!

The story is amazing. I wouldn’t think about it! What a brilliant film.

I meant the thing in the garden that led to the hiding, it jarred with me.

Yes I did get that the title is designed to be taken either or both ways.

I don't watch a lot of Korean films so completely accept that not liking the lurching from one genre to the next is probably to do with my unfamiliarity with the style rather than any problem of the film maker. Was still a bit disappointed though.
