Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite

As above, so below: Amy Taubin and Michael Koresky join for a discussion of Bong Joon Ho’s Oscar-winning sensation

At Film Comment, we love it when we get behind a movie and then see other movie-goers share the love. Parasite, the funny and fierce thriller from Bong Joon Ho, was on the cover of our September-October issue, but wasn’t released in theaters until mid-October. But what a release! Audiences are packing the theaters. To talk about the movie’s appeal and Bong’s masterful filmmaking, FC Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold sat down with contributing editor Amy Taubin, who wrote out September-October feature on Parasite, and FC columnist and critic Michael Koresky. And don’t miss the essay on Parasite by Midsommar director Ari Aster, also available in our latest issue.

This story is part of the September-October 2019 issue of Film Comment.
