There’s not much more to say about Bong Joon-ho’s film “Parasite” than what has already been said by most critics and awards-governing bodies that have consistently put the film among the best of the year, if not the decade. It’s a masterwork from one of the greatest filmmakers alive today. And thankfully, if you weren’t able to catch the film in theaters, “Parasite” is finally available to watch in the comfort of your own home. Maybe even the basement, if you feel so inclined.
