15: Parasite (2019)

April 14, 2021

The Knights take a trip across the Pacific Ocean into dystopia with 2019’s acclaimed film, “Parasite”!

2019’s “Parasite” took the Academy Awards by storm, bringing home the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, and setting the bar for a modern films rooted in allegory and symbolism that comments on the societal and cultural trends of the era in which it was made. Writer/Director Bong Joon-Ho unapologetically holds the mirror up to the inequalities of modern South Korean society in a thriller that transcends international borders about a poor family that tries to leech off of a well-to-do family, becoming literal parasites in an allegorical epic for the ages. This film, while living up to the hype surrounding it thanks to its meteoric night at the Oscars, sets a new bar for its genre with a plot that will leave audiences on the edge of their seat over what comes next until the very end.
