Source text in English

To say that I was compelled by Parasite from start to finish is an understatement; its filming style with tracking shots are enthralling. Having watched several Korean films during the London Korean Film Festival, I was familiar with the usual genres employed in such films but Parasite seemed to defy them all! Parasite is comedic, in a quirky way, it is also a thriller, straddles class divisions and also depicts a family tale amongst other genres and is therefore likely to appeal to all ages.

Parasite truly deserves to be watched in a cinema to appreciate its nuances and the stylish cinematography. As a summary, to avoid spoilers, Parasite tells the tale of the interaction between the Park family and the Kim’s, an unemployed family, whose contrasting worlds collide with long lasting consequences.

[...]Bong Joon-Ho manages to pique the audience’s interest with brightly lit shots coupled with the effective use of indoor space, and it is surprising to realise, after the film’s 2 hour 12 minute length, that most of the scenes occur within the Park family’s home. The mundane elements of domesticity are displayed with an intriguing perspective showcasing Bong Joon-Ho’s flair. It is a slow burner but you will revel in its beauty and ingenuity as Parasite convinces that it operates solely on one level but it is in fact multi-layered and depicts social realism with empathy and pathos.

The cast are beguiling to watch, every facial movement and action is accentuated, even the mere act of walking up or down stairs can convey hidden meaning, which the camera fragments. Levels of unease are also created by virtue of that effective use of space with unusual camera angles and dramatic weather conditions ratcheting up that sensation. There is a surreal nature to Parasite, which its score emphasises, and furthermore the film adopts elements of the absurd devised in such an ingenious way which is truly cinematic magic. Parasite’s apparent eeriness will certainly keep you riveted and would not feel alien to the Twilight Zone school of filmmaking.

The actors are very impressive and add breadth to their roles creating relatability whilst seeming effortlessly cool. When Ki-Woo and Ki-Jeong Kim were working within the Park family home as private tutors they certainly epitomised this level of nonchalant, understated authority creating an aura of mysticism with the unspoken, almost mythical, tutoring techniques employed. Quite simply, the actors Park So-Dam and Choi Woo-Sik, as Ki-Woo and Ki-Jeong, are compelling to watch in the different directions that Parasite follows and they carry these performances seamlessly thereby inviting the audience to be on their side.

[...]Parasite is a remarkable piece of extremely skilful filmmaking, it is simply a must see film, and so I am looking forward to re-watching the film on its UK general release date.

Ny filazana fa babon'ny Parasite aho hatramin'ny voalohany ka hatramin'ny farany dia fanambaniana; Mahavariana ny fomba fanaraha-maso azy. Rehefa nijery sarimihetsika Koreana maromaro nandritra ny Fetiben'ny Sarimihetsika Koreana Londres aho, dia nahafantatra ireo karazana mahazatra ampiasaina amin'ny sarimihetsika toy izany, saingy toa nanohitra azy rehetra i Parasite! Ny Parasite dia hatsikana, amin'ny fomba hafahafa dia sarimihetsika mampihoron-koditra mampizarazara ihany koa izy io ary mampiseho tantaram-pianakaviana eo amin'ireo karazana hafa ary noho izany dia mety hanintona ny sokajin-taona rehetra.
Ny Parasite dia tena mendrika hojerena any amin'ny teatra mba hankasitraka ny nuance sy ny fomba fanaovana sarimihetsika. Na izany na tsy izany, mba hialana amin'ny mpandroba, Parasite dia mitantara ny fifandraisan'ny fianakavian'i Park sy ny fianakavian'i Kim, fianakaviana tsy an'asa, izay mifandona ny tontolo mifanohitra amin'ny voka-dratsin'ny Castle.
[…] Nosamborin'i Bong Joon-Ho ny fahalianan'ny mpanatrika tamin'ny seho mazava tsara miampy ny fampiasana tsara ny habaka anatiny, ary nahagaga ny nahatsikaritra fa taorian'ny 2 minitra 12 segondra tamin'ilay sarimihetsika, ny ankamaroan'ny Scenes dia natao tao amin'ny fianakaviana Park. trano. . Ny singa ara-tontolo iainana amin'ny fiainam-pianakaviana dia aseho amin'ny fomba fijery mahavariana izay mampiseho ny talentan'i Bong Joon-Ho. Maivana miadana izy io, saingy ho babon'ny hatsaran-tarehiny sy ny fahaiza-manaony ianao satria ny Parasite dia mandresy lahatra fa amin'ny ambaratonga iray ihany no miasa, fa tena maro sosona ary maneho fiaraha-monina tena misy miaraka amin'ny fangorahana sy ny fahoriana.
Mahavariana ny mijery ireo mpilalao, tsindriana avokoa ny fihetsiky ny tarehy sy ny fihetsika rehetra, na ny fihetsika tsotra miakatra na midina tohatra aza dia afaka mampita hevitra miafina hitan’ny fakan-tsary. Misy ihany koa ny tsy fandriam-pahalemana noho ny fampiasana tsara ny habaka miaraka amin'ny zoro fakan-tsary tsy mahazatra sy ny toetr'andro mahery vaika manampy an'io fahatsapana io. Misy toetra tsy azo ihodivirana amin'ny Parasite, izay asongadin'ny mozikany, ary mihoatra noho izany, ny sarimihetsika dia mampihatra ireo singa tsy mitombina novolavolaina tsara izay tena majika cinematic. Ny hafetsen'ny Parasite mibaribary dia tena hahasarika anao ary tsy ho toy ny vahiny amin'ny sekoly fanaovana sarimihetsika Twilight Zone. Mahatalanjona ireo mpilalao ary manampy lalina ny anjara andraikiny, mamorona fifandraisana rehefa mijery tsara. Rehefa miasa ao amin'ny tranon'ny fianakavian'i Park ho mpampianatra tsy miankina i Ki-Woo sy Ki-Jeong Kim, dia azo antoka fa manao an'io ambaratongam-pahefana tsy miraharaha sy malemy fanahy io izy ireo, mamorona rivotry ny mystika amin'ny teknika fampianarana tsy miteny sy saika angano. Tsotra fotsiny, mahasarika ny mpilalao Park So-Dam sy Choi Woo-Sik, tahaka an'i Ki-Woo sy Ki-Jeong, ny mijery amin'ny lalana samy hafa izoran'ny Parasite sy manatontosa an'ireny fampisehoana ireny amin'ny fomba milamina, manasa ny mpihaino hiandany amin'izy ireo.
[…]Ny Parasite dia asa miavaka amin'ny fanaovana sarimihetsika tena mahay, tsy maintsy jerena tsotra izao, ary noho izany dia manantena ny hahita azy indray aho amin'ny famoahana azy amin'ny ankapobeny any UK.
