A masterclass in social commentary and dark comedy thriller with hints of drama, Parasite is a Bong Joon-ho directorial. It is about an underprivileged family that invades a highly privileged household and causes things to take a dark turn for the worse. Parasite's sharp class inequality critique is matched with outstanding performances and good direction. It is now the first non-English language film to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards, and the film can be viewed as an out-and-out success worldwide.
