The genius director
The genius director-writer Bong Joon-ho is well-known for his sudden mood-shifting dark comedies (simply put by other critiques as black humour) based on stark social issues and disturbing realities of the world. Metacritic, a review aggregator, has ranked Bong thirteenth on its list of the 25 best film directors of the 21st century. Parasite created a buzz in the movie market by becoming the first-ever non-English language movie in Oscar history to win the award for Best Picture on 9 February 2020. Bong won all four categories for which he was nominated: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and (on behalf of South Korea) Best International Feature Film. Parasite also won the Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, the first South Korean film to do so.
As of 17 February 2020, Parasite has grossed a total of $205.3 million worldwide. It set a new record for Bong, becoming the first of his films to gross over $100 million worldwide.
