1) Parasite
Like The Death of Dick Long earlier, it’s a film best gone into blind. Just know that director Bong Joon-ho excels once again at creating a unique, intricate, and hilarious film. The film masterly blends genres, with elements of comedy and horror shifting alongside each other. Moreover, the film succeeds in political commentary without being too overt, using cinematic language through well-placed cinematography to present political themes. There is genuinely no other film truly like Parasite. It is as fun as it is intricate. Please go out of your way to watch this film.
