#Parasite is terrific. Much more like a Cannes Film Festival than Oscar best movie winner, but that’s all to the good. It’s not just the most un-American film to win it linguistically, but also politically and stylistically.

I can’t believe it took me this long to watch #Parasite but it was by far one of the greatest movies I have ever watched in my life. As Bong Joon-ho said: “Once you overcome the one-inch tall barriers of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films”
