  • Zwarte komedie over armoede in Zuid-Korea. We volgen een arm gezin, waarvan de leden zich een voor een hechten aan een rijk gezin in Seoul. De eigenzinnige en onvoorspelbare film begint grappig, wordt almaar donkerder, en werkt toe naar een explosief einde. Bong (The Host, Okja) mixt een heleboel genres (drama, slapstick, satire, horror), maar slaagt er moeiteloos in daar een soepel geheel van te maken. Extra vermelding voor het vloeiende camerawerk van Hong Kyung-pyo. Glorieuze winnaar van de Gouden Palm op Cannes2019. Bovendien Oscars voor beste film, beste regie, beste script en beste niet-Engelstalige film.
