Paul & Amy latch on to 2019’s Best Picture winning Korean class parable Parasite! They talk about overcoming the “one inch barrier of subtitles,” praise director Bong Joon Ho’s use of lines and vertical camera movement and learn about Bong’s political awakening and how it inspired the film. Plus: Justin Chang (LA Times, NPR) tells us what the reaction to Parasite was like at Cannes.

The Unspooled team applies their usual format of reviewing older movies to an engaging, deep exploration of the many aspects of the exquisite Parasite, including interviewing someone close to the work. They so clearly admire this film as a work of art.
