Parasite

Ever since I rewatched it a few days ago I can’t seem to get it out of my head. Went ahead and skimmed through its score and soundtrack, and had meaningful conversations with my companions about their interpretations towards its - not so underlying - provocative theme. Reminisced on their reactions as well, since I’ve shown them other highly praised works - like some of my favorites - yet their response was not the same. You see, there’s a little unspoken connection between cinema and cinephiles that only WE understand. A connection that allows us to fully appreciate and enjoy this art. Yet some works transcend that barrier, ‘Parasite’ gracefully extends its arms between that heavily guarded border and embraces both sides of the spectrum (casual filmgoers and Cinephiles) with love. Such a special work deserves all 5 stars and a place amongst my list of 100 favorites.
