Parasite 2019
ENG/ITA
(ENG) Magnificent view on the class struggle in Seoul, South Korea.
Two families: one of crafty poor, who lives in a basement (near which an even poorer always goes to piss) and one of super-rich, who live in a house of extreme luxury, with rooms on rooms, fine furnishings and large garden.

- big confusion on the names of characters…Translated from by -

ENG/ITA
(ENG) Masterpiece. I didn't think it would have been possible to get so excited by listening to 12 men arguing in a room for over 90 minutes.
The drop of water of "reasonable doubt" makes space in the rock of the presumption of guilt, breaking it into a thousand pieces.
An impressive and varied slice of humanity. As the dialogue takes hold, with solid and other fallacious arguments, the weaknesses of the individual come to the surface, and the…Translated from by
