Corpsey
bandz ahoy
I didn't catch this at the cinema but I got the BluRay in the post yesterday and watched it last night. Parasite lived up to the hype. Along with being thrilling, shocking, funny, tragic and beautifully shot, etc., it stuck around in my brain after the credits rolled.
I kept thinking about the symbolism that I'd missed first-time around (the basement dwelling family being fumigated like cockroaches), the moral ambiguities it sets up (the parasitic family are sort of evil, but also sort of heroic; the rich family are smug and privileged, but also in a way 'innocent'), and so on.
About a month ago I watched The Host, which I also absolutely loved, as much if not even more than Parasite.
