PARASITE (Bong, 2019)

(Directed by Bong Joon Ho from a screenplay by Bong and Han Jin-wan; starring Song Kant-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Choi Woo-sik, Park So-dam, Lee Jeong-sun, and Jang Hye-jin. Released 21 May 2019; watched fri/20230123 via Hulu)

Has the distinction of being the only film I purchased on Blu midway through watching it: a tour-de-force that demolishes expectations of genre and character from one of the most exciting filmmakers working today. Hilarious, terrifying, poignant, brutal, suspenseful, gut-wrenching – all within a single scene. Everything I want in a film and then some: the finest con/fallout pitch-black comedy since FARGO. Never have peaches been so terrifying.
