Bong Joon Ho - 'The parasite' (new South Korean movie)

[Rev Jones]

GREAT movie. I absolutely loved it. I hope it's being released in US theaters too.

it starts out as a comedy about a poor yet resourceful family who work their way into a rich family's home but it slowly turns into something rather sinister. it adds a layer of social criticism too. the acting is top notch too

I can honestly say my buddy and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie

here's an interview with the director about the movie. I haven't watched it myself, it might contain *spoilers* so beware



this definitely qualifies as one of those 'mindfuck movies' gravey started a thread about

[ShaDynasty]

Yeah, heard about this one. Its on my list.

[Mister Yo]

since when did foreign films play in US theaters?

thats never ever happened where i live.

movie sounds rather interesting though, will look into for sure.

[Rev Jones]

since when did foreign films play in US theaters?

yeah I was unsure about that. it would be great if it happened (more), there's so many interesting movies out there

[Mister Yo]

even at the closest movie theater to me... in recent memory.

Ex-Machina got a limited screening. that Cure for Wellness movie got a limited run. Neon Demon got a limited run.

they would only play once or twice a day and only for a week or two. shits a joke around here.

maybe in LA or NY or something but even though that could be pushing it. Nick Cave came out with a movie last year or two years ago, One More Time With Feeling and it was supposed to get a few limited screenings in the US but my theater never got it. i assume it was just like LA probably anyway.

its a shame.

Another social justice film? I think I'll pass.

[Mister Yo]

honestly it kinda reminds me of Borgman.

how there is a difference between classes which was a bit of a theme in Borgman.

wouldnt really say social justice but cant say for sure due to not having seen the flick yet and seeing the twists if any etc etc

[Dooch]

They played previews for it when I recently went to see Lighthouse and Joker so it’s definitely playing in the US.

[Mister Yo]

doubt in Erie though

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

When you actually realize what Borgman is about, that movie becomes super fucking creepy
