Mickey 17 2025
Bong Joon Ho is always silly. In his best work (Parasite, The Host) slapstick is a device that makes the runtime fun and the social commentary accessible. It really is a superpower, as a filmmaker with ideas, to be able to always offer your audience the certainty that they’re getting something out of a scene.
