The Walls Are Thin. The Line Is Thinner.
At the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020, Parasite made history by becoming the first non-English language film to win the Best Picture Oscar. Additionally, it secured three other Oscars:
– Best Director – Bong Joon-ho
– Best Original Screenplay – Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won
– Best International Feature Film time.com
AFI Special Award: In 2019, the American Film Institute honored Parasite with a Special Award, recognizing it as one of the year’s most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image.
Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite isn’t just a film, it’s a razor-sharp masterclass in tension, humor, and class commentary that unfolds with the precision of a heist and the weight of a tragedy.
What begins as a clever con spirals into something far more unpredictable, blurring the lines between host and intruder, privilege and survival. Every frame is layered, every moment carefully placed and on the big screen, those details hit harder, cut deeper, and linger longer.
The first non-English language film to win Best Picture at the Oscars, Parasite earned its place in cinematic history not by playing it safe, but by saying something that still echoes loudly years later.
If you’ve seen it, you know. If you haven’t, the less you know, the better.
