“When you ask someone to describe Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, chances are they’ll trail off a bit and end up saying, ‘You just have to see it.’ The genre-bending film defies even the most diligent attempts to classify it. It’s a thriller. It’s a dark comedy (or is it a tragicomedy?). It’s satire. It’s an arthouse autopsy of class warfare that transmogrifies into a cunning revenge story. It’s an upstairs-downstairs story turned upside-down.” – Source: No Film School
