Parasite is one of those films that comes along occasionally in which every aspect knocks it out of the park and presents something really special, and the film deserved every award it hoovered up. As with the director's previous successes such as The Host and Snowpiercer, it wears its themes and ideas very openly on its sleeve, yet here it is done with a precision and purpose that is beautifully realised on screen. Parasite cleverly invokes the masters of cinema, with influences evident from Kurosawa to Pasolini to Haneke, but it also cleverly fits into the current trend of elevated horror such as Get Out and Hereditary. There is so much to enjoy about this film as it unfolds all the way through, leading to an incredibly bittersweet twist at the very end that proves to be an excellent conclusion to this hugely accomplished movie.
