    Was going to post this. So psyched about it. First for South Korea, and for the first time two Asian winners in a row! Said to be unanimous decision too.

    Poster. Somehow gives me a bit of Dogtooth vibe.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    My parents both love Parasite, so Bong may have shot through their perception of “festival films” good. Frankly, give him another Palme for that.

    US trailer



    Neon does a great job cutting this, keeping the story beats mostly to the first act (and context-free images from the rest that help set the mood but don't reveal anything much).
