Title: Parasite
Review: Well, well, well…. this year’s Oscar for Best Picture……is …. well…. a doozy. I cannot rate this movie; it is over of my level of strangeness quotient. Clearly metaphoric in many ways, and with a lot of inside Korean political humor, it takes savagely unexpected turns throughout…none of which I am giving away. Suffice it to say that “Parasite” refers to a human (not beastly) condition, and is loosely based on a poor south Korean family that takes over a house and lives of some rich folks. Brutally honest, chillingly funny, class conscious, with an absolutely brilliant ensemble of actors. Personally, I liked it an awful lot…and left left me rally pondering the human condition….but it is truly a strange one, and likely not for everyone.
