Parasite (2019)
'Parasite' is the anti 'Downton Abbey', upstairs and downstairs don't exactly get along in this dark thriller/comedy about strained class relationships in South Korea. The first foreign language film to win a best picture Oscar this movie has a strong ensemble cast and a very cleaver and original screenplay that deserved winning that award as well. A worthy and groundbreaking film in many ways, it also feels like a bit of blip, I'm not sure this will have much long term impact on the movies that Americans go to see and the movies that Academy voters vote for, but I could be wrong. Again really impressive, doesn't go in the direction your probably anticipating, go into this knowing as little about it as possible. ****
