Parasite, Korean film

A wickedly delightful Five star offering

Can anything be better than a sumptuous story which seamlessly blends a social drama with suspense and black comedy?

Every scene glitters like a diamond.and each one of them slips into another like a knife through butter.

A classic case where the director draws the audience into the story, teasing and tantalising you. 

The incremental tension added to every frame, effortlessly, leaves you wondering whether you need to focus on the craft of storytelling or to the story itself. Of course, you happily end up doing both.

The next breakthrough that Cinema would benefit from is if the audience can be able to detect odour in the narratives. We never get to feel the smells of a scene. In Parasite, the odour manifests itself in mischievous ways and a curious case where the nose does not feel it but the heart does. 

The climax can leave you distraught. So what, you can still sleep peacefully after watching a brilliant piece of Cinema.

The Storytelling in Parasite is something Alfred Hitchcock would have been proud of. Light years ahead of its competitors at the Oscars. 

I hope they do the honours of conferring the best picture it is contesting for in both the categories
