Everything you need to know about ‘Parasite’ and its Oscar nominations

LA Times  

It was clear from Times critic Justin Chang’s radiant enthusiasm coming out of Cannes in May: “Parasite” was something special — a movie to be seen, and then to be watched as it took the awards circuit by storm. But for those those who’ve missed the “Parasite” train thus far, here’s a short course in why director Bong Joon Ho’s movie is such a buzzy big deal. When that review came out in October, “Parasite” had already taken home the Palme d’Or from Cannes — or the “Bong d’Or, as it must henceforth be known,” Chang said back in May. The director Whipp also brought attention to director Bong’s resume, which includes “Okja,” “Snowpiercer,” “Mother,” “The Host” and “Memories of Murder,” even as he bemoaned the 2019 Oscar fate of “Roma,” another foreign-language film that failed to win best picture though it earned trophies for foreign film, director and cinematography. So there’s always those two sides of the coin when you work with Bong Joon Ho: great and agonizing.” The awards On Monday, “Parasite” moved a few steps closer to conquering the world as it racked up six Oscar nominations: best picture, director, international feature, original screenplay, production design and film editing.
